BUG LISTS

http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/warlord/pgp-faq.html
WHERE CAN I GET VIACRYPT PGP?
Viacrypt has versions of PGP complete with licenses for
commercial use of the RSA and IDEA encryption algorithms.
Viacrypt PGP comes in executable code only (no source code),
but it is based on (and just as secure as) the freeware PGP.
Viacrypt PGP for Windows is the only real Windows PGP (and even
it is partially a quickwin executable that looks like a DOS
port). Still, it is much better from an interface standpoint
than all the others.
Please contact ViaCrypt for pricing (about US $100 up), the latest
platforms, and availablity at 800-536-2664 8:30am to 5:00pm
MST, Monday - Friday. They accept VISA, MasterCard, AMEX and
Discover credit cards.

This is an interesting book on the sociology and politics of privacy in the
computer age as well as a practical manual on using PGP. Must reading for
all members of Congress, presidential staff, members of Parliament, and
ordinary citizens who would like to take reasonable steps to protect
themselves from some forms of crime that have been made easy by technology.

IS PGP MORALLY RIGHT?
PGP itself is morally neutral. What you do with it is not. Protecting
privacy, prevention of criminal theft, and taking due diligence to
protect certain business information (like credit card numbers,
customer lists, etc.) are good uses for PGP. Concealing criminal
or other immoral activity is wrong. You can fool the police some
of the time, but you can't fool God.
IS PGP LEGAL?
Pretty Good Privacy is legal if you follow these rules:
Don't export PGP from the USA except to Canada, or from
Canada except to the USA, without a license.
If you are in the USA, use either Viacrypt PGP (licensed
for commercial use) or MIT PGP using RSAREF (limited to
personal, noncommercial use). Outside of the USA, where
RSA is not patented, you may prefer to use a version of
PGP (2.6.i) that doesn't use RSAREF to avoid the
restrictions of that license.
If you are in a country where the IDEA cipher patent
holds in software (including the USA, Canada, and some
countries in Europe), make sure you are licensed to use
the IDEA cipher commercially before using PGP
commercially. (No separate license is required to use
the freeware PGP for personal, noncommercial use). For
direct IDEA licensing, contact Ascom Systec.
Ascom Systec has taken over the distribution of IDEA
licenses effective April 1, 1995. Erhard Widmer is the
person responsible for the sales aspects, and Peter
Hartmann is responsible for the technical aspects. They
can be reached as follows:
Erhard Widmer, Ascom Systec AG, Dep't. CMVV Phone +41 64 56 59 83
Peter Hartmann, Ascom Systec AG, Dep't. CMN Phone +41 64 56 59 45
Fax: +41 64 56 59 90
e-mail: [email protected]
Mail address: Gewerbepark, CH-5506 Maegenwil (Switzerland)
Don't sell PGP based on Philip Zimmermann's source code in
North America unless you are reselling for Viacrypt (because
they have an exclusive marketing agreement on Philip
Zimmermann's copyrighted code). (Selling shareware/freeware
disks or connect time is OK). This restriction might be
lifted with PGP 3.0, since it is a complete rewrite by Colin
Plumb. Distribution and use restrictions on that version are
still to be determined.
If you modify PGP (other than porting it to another platform
or adapting it to another compiler), don't call it PGP (TM)
or Pretty Good Privacy (TM) without Philip Zimmermann's
permission.
WHAT IS PHILIP ZIMMERMANN'S LEGAL STATUS?
Philip Zimmermann is under investigation for alleged violation
of export regulations, with a grand jury hearing evidence.
There is speculation that the Feds are trying to make an
example of Phil through prolonged and expensive legal
proceedings, thus reaping a reward of Fear, Uncertainty, and
Doubt to discourage development and use of strong crypto in the
USA.
Even though people in this country are considered innocent
until proven guilty, there is a problem with the system in that
it can take lots of money for innocent folks to defend
themselves. Because of the broad implications for freedom,
privacy, and the First Amendment of the U. S. Constitution in
this case, I implore all of you who can to help out with Phil's
rather significant legal and travel expenses involved in his
defense. Phil is a nice guy with a wife and two children to
support, and he has done a great deal in his PGP social
activism to help all of us.
To send a check or money order by mail, make it payable, NOT to
Phil Zimmermann, but to "Philip L. Dubois, Attorney Trust
Account." Mail the check or money order to the following
address:
Philip Dubois
2305 Broadway
Boulder, CO USA 80304
(Phone #: 303-444-3885)
To send a wire transfer, your bank will need the following
information:
Bank: VectraBank
Routing #: 107004365
Account #: 0113830
Account Name: "Philip L. Dubois, Attorney Trust Account"
To contribute using your credit card (secured with PGP), simply
compose a message in plain ASCII text giving the following: the
recipient ("Philip L. Dubois, Attorney Trust Account"); the
bank name of your VISA or MasterCard; the name which appears on
it (yours, hopefully :-)); a telephone number at which you can
be reached in case of problems; the card number; date of
expiry; and, most important, the amount you wish to donate.
(Make this last item as large as possible.) Then use PGP to
encrypt and ASCII-armor the message using Phil Dubois's public
key, distributed with PGP 2.6.2. E-mail the output file to
Phil Dubois ([email protected]).
Please be sure to use a "Subject:" line reading something like
"Phil Zimmermann Defense Fund" so he'll know to decrypt it
right away.

WHAT OTHER FILE ENCRYPTION (DOS, MAC) TOOLS ARE THERE?
PGP can do conventional encryption only of a file (-c) option,
but you might want to investigate some of the other
alternatives if you do this a lot. Alternatives include
Quicrypt and Atbash2 for DOS, DLOCK for DOS & UNIX, Curve
Encrypt (for the Mac), HPACK (many platforms), and a few
others.
Quicrypt is interesting in that it comes in two flavors:
shareware exportable and registered secure. Atbash2 is
interesting in that it generates ciphertext that can be read
over the telephone or sent by Morse code. DLOCK is a no-frills
strong encryption program with complete source code. Curve
Encrypt has certain user-friendliness advantages. HPACK is an
archiver (like ZIP or ARC), but with strong encryption.
A couple of starting points for your search are:

HOW DO I SECURELY DELETE FILES (DOS)?
If you have the Norton Utilities, Norton WipeInfo is pretty
good. I use DELETE.EXE in del110.zip, which is really good at
deleting existing files, but doesn't wipe "unused" space.

WHAT DO I DO ABOUT THE PASS PHRASE IN MY WINDOWS SWAP FILE?
The nature of Windows is that it can swap any memory to disk at
any time, meaning that all kinds of interesting things could
end up in your swap file.

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO PGPfone(tm)?
PGPfone is in beta test for Macintosh users. A Windows 95 version
is being developed.

WHERE DO I GET NAUTILUS?
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 people with multimedia PCs and
modems capable of at least 7200 bps (but 14.4 kbps is better).

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.
Secure File System (SFS) is a DOS device driver that encrypts
an entire partition on the fly using SHA in feedback mode.
Secure Drive also encrypts an entire DOS partition, using IDEA,
which is patented.
Secure Device is a DOS device driver that encrypts a virtual,
file-hosted volume with IDEA.
Cryptographic File System (CFS) is a Unix device driver that
uses DES.

WHERE IS PGP'S COMPETITION?
RIPEM is the second most popular freeware email encryption
package. I like PGP better for lots of reasons, but if for
some reason you want to check or generate a PEM signature,
RIPEM is available at ripem.msu.edu. There is also an
exportable RIPEM/SIG.

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
http://www-lsi.upc.es/~alvar/pks/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. Send mail to
[email protected] for information, or
look at
http://www.Four11.com/
PGP public keys which are stored on SLED's Four11 Key Server are
now retrievable by fingering [email protected].
Example: My e-mail addresses is [email protected]
finger [email protected]@publickey.com
My key (mpj8) is at Four11.com, at
ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/mpj8.asc,
on the key servers, on my BBS, and available by finger.
WHICH FAQ IS THE OFFICIAL ONE?
The main alt.security.pgp FAQ is published by Jeff A. Licquia
<[email protected]> and is available at
ftp://ftp.prairienet.org/pub/providers/pgp/pgpfaq.txt
This shorter FAQ just covers a few of the most frequent
questions and points you to the main FAQ for more answers.
This file is
ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/getpgp.asc,
There are some other periodic FAQ-related postings, too, like
the miniFAQ posted by Andre Bacard, which is more about
promoting the use of PGP than where to get it or how to use
it.
FAQs are also posted to
news.answers and
alt.answers, and
archived at rtfm.mit.edu.
CAN I COPY AND REDISTRIBUTE THIS FAQ?
Permission is granted to distribute unmodified copies of this FAQ. This
information is also in http://www.csn.net/~mpj, which you may link to or
adapt for use at your own web sites.
