MIT has just officially announced the upcoming availability of PGP 2.5. The announcement was just made at Networld+Interop '94 in Las Vegas by Jeff Schiller, MIT's Network Manager. The text of the actual announcement is available via WWW at http://www.media.org/. Look under "MIT PGP Security Announcement."
Here is what I found there: [IMAGE] MIT PGP ANNOUNCEMENT _________________________________________________________________ These pages constantly under construction _________________________________________________________________ [IMAGE] Jeffrey Schiller _________________________________________________________________ The Massachusetts Institute of Technology announces that it will shortly distribute PGP version 2.5, incorporating the RSAREF 2.0 cryptographic toolkit under license from RSA Data Security, Inc., dated March 16, 1994.
