IS PGP LEGAL?
Yes. See ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/getpgp.asc for some of the issues.
WHAT IS PHILIP ZIMMERMANN'S LEGAL STATUS?
Philip Zimmermann was under investigation for alleged violation of export
regulations, with a grand jury hearing evidence for about 28 months, ending
11 January 1996. The Federal Government chose not to comment on why it
decided to not prosecute, nor is it likely to. The Commerce Secretary stated
that he would seek relaxed export controls for cryptographic products, since
studies show that U. S. industry is being harmed by current regulations.
Philip endured some serious threats to his livelihood and freedom, as well as
some very real legal expenses, for the sake of your right to electronic
privacy.
Although there was no direct and open legal battle, there was a lot of behind
the scenes work by Phil's legal team, headed by Philip L. Dubois
([email protected]). GREAT JOB! If you ever are in the situation of needing
a good lawyer to help you with similar Federal harassment, consider yourself
fortunate if Mr. Dubois will take your case.
Philip Zimmermann is breathing more easily these days, still a free man and
able to work to support his family. The battle is won, but the war is not
over. The regulations that caused him so much grief and which continue to
dampen cryptographic development, harm U. S. industry, and do violence to the
U. S. National Security by eroding the First Ammendment of the U. S.
Constitution and encouraging migration of cryptographic industry outside of
the U. S. A. are still on the books. If you are a U. S. Citizen, please
write to your U. S. Senators, Congressional Representative, President, and
Vice President pleading for a more sane and fair cryptographic policy.

Bill Dorsey, Pat Mullarky, and Paul Rubin have come out with a program called
Nautilus that enables you to engage in secure voice conversations between

kbps is better). See

HOW DO I ENCRYPT MY DISK ON-THE-FLY?
Rather than manually encrypting and decrypting files, it is sometimes easier
(and therefore more secure, because you are more likely to use it) to use a
utility that encrypts or decrypts files on the fly as you use them in your
favorite applications. This also allows you to automatically encrypt
temporary files generated by your applications if they are on the encrypted
volume.

HOW DO I PUBLISH MY PGP PUBLIC KEY?
Send mail to one of these addresses with the single word "help" in the
subject line to find out how to use them. These servers sychronize keys with
each other.

WWW interface to the key servers:
http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-toplev.html
For US $20/year or so, you can have your key officially
certified and published in a "clean" key database that is much less
susceptible to denial-of-service attacks than the other key servers.
