Where can one get PGP burnt into cdrom? Or the equiptment to do it
If you can wait a while, TERENA (UKERNA, SURFnet, etc) are producing a PGP CD at the start of next year ...
Would PGP on CD-ROM truely gaurantee a corrupt/virus free executable? A virus already running in memory could tamper with what it's doing, perhaps extracting the necessary keys and dumping them to a log file. This would be especially dangerous on a UNIX system where many people might be using PGP, thinking it is secure. I think the only way to be safe is to actually boot up off of the CD-ROM, and hope that the hardware in your computer physically hasn't been tampered with :)
