In today's mailbox I got a pack of marketing slicks from ViaCrypt. They're about to release ViaCrypt PGP 4.0 in two editions: Personal and Business. The 4.0 release adds some nice new features: - recipient groups for sending to several addresses at once - a Search dialog for finding keys - encryption-only & decryption-only keys - signature-only keys - key expiration dates - a Windows DLL that third-party developers can use (!!) The biggie, though, are these: "Encryption automatically includes Corporate Access Key as additional recipient (option)" and "Key selection/display dialogs show only keys certified by Corporate Access Key (option)" So, real CKE will soon be available from an unexpected source. I'm not sure whether to be excited or dismayed. On the one hand, any movement towards CKE seems dangerously close to the slippery slope of GAK. On the other hand, I know a large corp like Intergraph is much more likely to license PGP for internal use if it has CKE features-- especially since they can hold the keys internally. The DLL is an awfully nice feature, too. -Paul -- Paul Robichaux, KD4JZG | perobich@ingr.com Intergraph Corporation | http://www.intergraph.com Be a cryptography user. | Not speaking for Intergraph Co-author, "Building Internet Appls With Visual C++", Que Books (0-7897-0213-4)
