Certainly having PGP run from a CDROM or other read-only device would be a big help. Even better would be to have all the privileged code also run from a read-only device.

Seeing as PGP is quite small the simplest and cheapest read-only device would be a write-protected floppy disk.

But do remember that your copy of PGP could be infected as it is loaded from the disk. You really need to protect your privileged code too. Bill
