I beg your pardon!
Decrypting files and decrypting messages are not the same problem. The PGP product has SMTP support - it is explicitly designed to weaken transmitted messages. Just like Clipper.
No, it isn't "just like Clipper." Messages encrypted with PGP 5.5 can be decrypted or verified by PGP 5.0 or other implementations that can decode the PGP message and encryption format. Also, PGP 5.0 or other complient implementations can send encrypted and signed messages to PGP 5.5 users.
Next you'll be telling us that PGP doesn't really use Skipjack. ;-) _Of course_ it isn't Clipper. But, it's like Clipper in the most important way: it is surveillance friendly. The use of Clipper was not compelled. We hated it because if it were used to any degree at all, its use would become mandatory. PGP Inc.'s Big Brother line of products play the same role Clipper did, only they are wrapped up in PGP Inc.'s "Good Guy" image. PGP Inc. may succeed where William Clinton and The Spooks failed. Were we to behave consistently, we would treat the company with the same level of trust and respect the present administration receives.
