I have not seen this here yet, so sorry if you have seen it...
ViaCrypt is claiming that they are now shipping the Windows version of their PGP 4.0. (I tend to not believe marketing claims until I hear from people who actually have it.)
Does anyone know if there are plans for this version to be interoperable with PGP 3.0?
Furthermore, has anyone tried the new version? --- Alan Olsen -- alano@teleport.com -- Contract Web Design & Instruction
I've got the Viacrypt Business Edition for Windows. It arrived late last week. I don't think the personal edition is shipping yet. The business edition adds features for corporate key escrow and limiting features available to users. I've just started playing with the software, but it looks like some of the user control features are implemented using security through obscurity. The windows implementation is ok, but does not include DDE or OLE. The floating toolbar looks useful. 4.0 will interoperate with current versions of PGP as long as a normal key is generated. 4.0 allows for generation of keys limited to signing or encryption. These keys will not interoperate with current versions of PGP. I'll know more as I use the software. If anyone has any specific question, feel free to ask. Ron McCoy Rmccoy@mercury.interpath.com
