Just wonder if anyone had a closer look at the "Advanced security" option built in the Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11. You can use a soft of a public/private key when sending a mail via fax (Class 1) driver Micrsoft Fax at Work. The key seems to be quite short and I wonder if that's a real secure solution comparing eg. to PGP?
If it really is public key, and if the keys really are quite short, then its probably really *not* secure. Remember than a 129-digit (~425 bit) RSA key was broken in 8 months! A 384-bit RSA key is therefore not secure! -derek
