-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Not long after my original post, I got a message from Dave Barnhart of ViaCrypt. He asserted that it would be "illegal" for me to buy a ViaCrypt license, then use PGP 2.6-based code in my own application, and that it would violate both my RSAREF license and my MIT license on any copies of PGP 2.6 that I was licensed to operate. So, the short answer is I'm going to roll my own instead of using PGP or a PGP-based tool. D-H for the initial key exchange, plus 3DES for the actual encryption, and poof! away I go. And yes, I know D-H is claimed by RSA's PK patents. - -Paul - -- Paul Robichaux, KD4JZG | Demand that your elected reps support the perobich@ingr.com | Constitution, the whole Constitution, and Not speaking for Intergraph. | nothing but the Constitution. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6 iQCVAgUBLmHhL6fb4pLe9tolAQFgAAQAn1hP9L1Tu8XwnQNwJ0ZqwpxPqJhSTZ4r iKjre6KBFQ/2V5lmd6booHoN9Acper2dTV1Pzlj4dhqK8ox9Fo6kgIjfsNZQdCRA JrWzgAyY6TvCEjkS2B5Uig90Ar2f/cKcwiyhm4nJ/0yTnJbjas25Ymu+DRH3zW4E 03EG+HSgKpg= =kVSt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
