FAQ: Where to find PGP (minor update)



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----


WHERE TO GET THE PRETTY GOOD PRIVACY PROGRAM (PGP)
(Last modified: 2 May 1994 by Mike Johnson)

The latest commercial versions are 2.4 (both Viacrypt and BSAFE versions).
The latest freeware Mac version is 2.3 or 2.3a, depending on the variant.
The latest Amiga version is 2.3a2
The latest freeware version for all other platforms is 2.3a

If you are a commercial user of PGP in the USA or Canada, contact Viacrypt in
Phoenix, Arizona, USA.  The commecial version of PGP is fully licensed to use
the patented RSA and IDEA encryption algorithms in commercial applications,
and may be used in corporate environments in the USA and Canada.  It is fully
compatible with, functionally the same as, and just as strong as the freeware
version of PGP. Due to limitations on ViaCrypt's RSA distribution license,
ViaCrypt only distributes executable code and documentation for it, but they
are working on making PGP available for a variety of platforms.  Call or
write to them for the latest information.  The latest information I have from
them on compiled versions are:

    MS-DOS 2.4
    Unix 2.4 (several different platforms)
    WinCIM CSNAV 2.4
    Mac version expected late this summer.

The freeware version of PGP is intended for noncommercial, experimental, and
scholarly use.  It is available on thousands of BBSes, commercial information
services, and Internet anonymous-ftp archive sites on the planet called Earth.
This list cannot be comprehensive, but it should give you plenty of pointers
to places to find PGP.  Although the latest freeware version of PGP was
released from outside the USA (New Zealand), it is not supposed to be
exported from the USA under a strange law called the International Traffic in
Arms Regulations (ITAR).  Because of this, please get PGP from a site outside
the USA if you are outside of the USA.

This data is subject to change without notice.  If you find that PGP has been
removed from any of these sites, please let me know so that I can update this
list.  Likewise, if you find PGP on a good site elsewhere (especially on any
BBS that allows first time callers to access PGP for free), please let me
know so that I can update this list.  Thanks to Gary Edstrom and Hugh Miller
for providing part of this data.

StealthPGP:

    The Amiga version can be FTP'ed from the Aminet in 
    /pub/aminet/util/crypt/ as StealthPGP1_0.lha.

Also, try an archie search for PGP using the command:

    archie -s pgp23  (DOS Versions)
    archie -s pgp2.3 (MAC Versions)

ftpmail:

For those individuals who do not have access to FTP, but do have access
to e-mail, you can get FTP files mailed to you.  For information on
this service, send a message saying "Help" to [email protected].
You will be sent an instruction sheet on how to use the ftpmail
service.

Another e-mail service is from nic.funet.fi. Send the following mail message
to [email protected]:

    ENCODER uuencode
    SEND pub/crypt/pgp23srcA.zip
    SEND pub/crypt/pgp23A.zip

This will deposit the two zipfiles, as 15 batched messages, in your mailbox
with about 24 hours.  Save and uudecode.

    This information from: Jim Wenzel <[email protected]>

PGP 2.3A has been posted to the FidoNet Software Distribution Network and
should on most if not all Canadian and U.S. nodes carrying SDN software.  It
has also been posted on almost all of the major private North American BBS
systems, thence to countless smaller boards.  Consult a list of your local
BBSes; most with a sizeable file inventory should carry the program.

If you find a version of the PGP package on a BBS or FTP site and it does not
include the PGP User's Guide, something is wrong.  The manual should always
be included in the package.  If it isn't, the package is suspect and should
not be used or distributed.  The site you found it on should remove it so
that it does no further harm to others.

Here is the result of an archie search for "pgp" on 4/27/94.  More sites
would show up if you performed a case-insensitive search for file names
containing "pgp", but such a search takes a long time, and is probably not
necessary.  Note that archie will not find some sites, like the one at
csn.org//mpj properly, due to the export control nonsense, but it does find
the directory where the PGP documentation is kept.
