The following is PGP's official response (from there web site) to the TIS acquisition by NETA. What it infers is that while PGP for Personal use won't (at least until NETA decides otherwise) incorporate TIS technology, it leaves the door wide open for PGP for Business use.... Network Associates and Key Recovery With the acquisition of Trusted Information Systems (TIS) by Network Associates, NAI has added a new technology to its product portfolio -- key recovery. This TIS-developed technology addresses the market needs for encryption key recovery and management. NAI will continue to provide this technology to the market. NAI's PGP product group already provides the capability for corporations to recover information from PGP products deployed in corporate environments. The requirement for this capability from corporations has been evident and well-known for quite sometime. However, NAI does not believe there is a need for key recovery in PGP products for the individual. NAI will develop and market products that its customers need and want but will not include any technology that is not required by its customers. A Picture Tells A Thousand Words. STEGO
