This is a forward of something I just cross-posted to alt.security.pgp, and talk.politics.crypto. Civil disobedience via illegal .sigs.

Distribution: world You all know about the ridiculous US regulation called ITAR and how it applies to crypto software in the US, well here's a fun and relatively safe (YMMV) way for you to export PGP in protest. It is just a token effort, and of 0 practical significance, but the idea is that you just post 3 lines of the uuencoded zipped DOS PGP executable in place of your usual sig in protest. If they lock you up for 3 uuencoded lines which came off a European ftp site and European web page, then well they are stupid. More to the point it would make them (the US state department and the NSA) look stupid. Take a look at this web page: http://dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/export/ it will dole out uuencoded parts of PGP.EXE (the DOS binary for pgp2.6.2i, the international version of PGP, as is available from myriads of non-US ftp sites). See my sig for a sample, the first in a long stream hopefully, And remember, say NO to key escrow :-) Adam -- ------------------ PGP.ZIP Part [000/713] ------------------- begin 644 pgp.zip M4$L#!!0````(`">9ZQX3(*,_DG8!`-JF`P`'````4$=0+D581>S;=UQ3U__X M\9M!$E8,TT@PJ$10$1=*41%WW`KX$=Q[M5KK`&R%(HH+(T.M"S>NME8K=31N ------------------------------------------------------------- for next chunk to export --> http://dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/export/
