Meanwhile, a beta version of "Pretty Safe Mail" http://www.highware.com/highware/PSM/safemail.htm is available from Highware in Belgium. It's PGP compatible, and its user interface is a great leap forward from any Mac PGP front end I've seen. But, it still has some deficiencies, it's very slow (25 seconds to sign this message on a 25 MHz 68040 vs. 4 seconds for ViaCrypt PGP 2.7.1), and (as was recently discussed on a couple of these lists) its source code hasn't been

or externally audited.
I've been testing Pretty Safe Mail on 68k and PPC platforms, and I
completely agree with you for the 68040 slowness.
But on a Powermac 7600 (604/120Mhz), it took less than 3 seconds to sign
the same document. Highware claims that a faster 68k is in the works.
They've offereed to have PSM externally audited, but I haven't heard of
any volunteers.
