Is anyone out there actively working on an implementation of the "stealth PGP" concept ? I asked Derek Atkins about a stealth mode in the upcoming PGP `96 ^H^H^H 3.0 at the Jan. Bay Area physical mtg, and he said the PGP3 team had no particular plans to support such a thing.
When asked, he also indicated that the PGP 3.0 message formats would be embedded into the API in such a way that it would not be possible to use the library to generate or process stealth. Of course, you could always strip the unstealthy data out as you would with PGP 2.x, but that doesn't help on the receiving end. -- Johnathan M.
