Nortel "Entrust"
by Jonathon Fletcher 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Can anyone tell me anything about a product called "Entrust", by Nortel (Northern Telecom). The notes talk about the software using DES ("which employs a 56-bit key") so I guess it's single DES, not triple DES. It also mentions a proprietary algorithm called CAST. Is this worthy of further investigation, or is it suspect ? What is CAST, and would it be classed as snake oil ? Please cc to me in mail - I have a little trouble dealing with the volume here. Sincerely, -Jon -- Jonathon Fletcher, "opinions are my own, not my employer's" jonathon(a)japan.sbi.com

PGP 50i Beta 8a for Unix.
by Ryan Anderson 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I jsut went and got myself a copy of this. It's frustratingly hard to get to compile. The source directories are all missing header files (filling src/include with all the headers via symlinks seems to work) but other files seem to be missing. Is there a better distribution of this than the mess on pgpi.com?

Re: a brief comparison of e-mail encryption protocols

Derek rites: >Oh, of course the central keyserver model would disappear, but I'm >still trying to design a system which is as compact as possible. I disagree but then my worldview is different. For personal use the compact distributed system is workable however when you start thinking in terms of a large distributed organization, the quanta changes. Mention was made of the difficulty of handling 20,000 keys. I am looking at over 80,000 today and over 200,000 tomorrow *for a single organization*. For quantities like this, a hierarchial system of management seems inevitable. First, I am not about to give up my personal PGP key, it is trustworthy and effective for my needs. It is not necessarily incompatable with an organizational structure. However *for the organization* something else is needed. I can see a future in which the bulk of the population has only two keys: their own and the punlic key of their post office (not talking USNail - private ones though not saying the US might not operate one as well). Messages are composed with addressing and encrypted with the PO key. PO decrypts message key (NOT necessarily message but that will have to rely on trust - nothing will stop double wrapping anyway), checks address list, retrieves key for each adressee, adds header & sends copy (may use single mailing for group at distant post office but that is getting ahead). If recipient key is not found, adressee wil be removed from list and notice sent back to originator. If plaintext is desired, special operation will be required. As noted, a hierarchal mechanism will be needed for key retrieval - only local keys and "frequent fliers" will be kept locally. Not new concept, just not used by post offices that I know of today. Will need a bit of fleshing out and expect the end-state to be 2-4 years out but is a good time to think about it. Warmly, Padgett
