Phil disagrees with ViaCrypts new "business" version of PGP which apparently encrypts all messages with an employer-supplied public key in addition to any specified by the employee. ViaCrypt has their side of the argument on their web page.
The basis of the possible lawsuit would be that ViaCrypt violated their agreement not to put any "back door" into any product with the PGP name. Whether the "business version feature" could be defined as a "back door" would be the crux of the argument.
Muppet news flash: I'm listening to the SAFE conference live by RealAudio, and Zimmerman just announced that on Friday, PGP Inc. bought ViaCrypt. He didn't give any more details. - Ian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMdgZikZRiTErSPb1AQExbgP+KYhxBQ8iBs73tQXsmcUezXMznkG88q2E +8G6tqzml5sX3DYsss3rDL/Le2a6RRZjYwOnjpnhjWdCPUIKsXE6s41XaaBhSN0f RaJnYWp+rMPdSMRvHsQQahg25WdGdSYgnHBW46NMGDoBbOG8EN9/Cn0lnIRIfXE6 dP4BCMzoBjw= =nwDn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
