Also, how flawed is MIT pgp? Is it really worth using international versions (i.e. ones written out of the USA which don't use RSA)? Does the Gov't have some complaint about said versions?
Umm, I dont know. How is MIT PGP flawed? Besides a few known bugs, of course. There shouldn't be much difference, code-wise, between the MIT version and the International version. The major difference is that MIT PGP has a license to use RSAREF which makes it legal to use w.r.t. patent issues in the US. AFAIK, there are no versions of PGP which do not use RSA. They all do. The only difference is that MIT PGP uses RSAREF, whereas the International versions use a non-licensed version of RSA. -derek
