Triple DES may be used in some versions (don't ask me for details....I'm not sure of the tradeoffs between DES and IDEA...perhaps the deal to use IDEA doesn't fit with a commercial version of PGP).
As Phil told me, the owner of the IDEA patent has recently been asking for lots more money. These actions don't affect the agreement with Phil with respect to PGP. Phil doesn't want to encourage the patentholder's behavior. I've cc: Phil should he wish to elaborate. Eric
