WHERE CAN I GET PGP LANGUAGE MODULES? http://www.ifi.uio.no/~staalesc/PGP/language.html ftp://ftp.ifi.uio.no/pub/pgp/doc/ IS PGP LEGAL? Yes. See ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/getpgp.asc for some of the issues. WHAT IS PHILIP ZIMMERMANN'S LEGAL STATUS? Philip Zimmermann was under investigation for alleged violation of export regulations, with a grand jury hearing evidence for about 28 months, ending 11 January 1996. The Federal Government chose not to comment on why it decided to not prosecute, nor is it likely to. The Commerce Secretary stated that he would seek relaxed export controls for cryptographic products, since studies show that U. S. industry is being harmed by current regulations. Philip endured some serious threats to his livelihood and freedom, as well as some very real legal expenses, for the sake of your right to electronic privacy. Although there was no direct and open legal battle, there was a lot of behind the scenes work by Phil's legal team, headed by Philip L. Dubois (dubois@dubois.com). GREAT JOB! If you ever are in the situation of needing a good lawyer to help you with similar Federal harassment, consider yourself fortunate if Mr. Dubois will take your case. Philip Zimmermann is breathing more easily these days, still a free man and able to work to support his family. The battle is won, but the war is not over. The regulations that caused him so much grief and which continue to dampen cryptographic development, harm U. S. industry, and do violence to the U. S. National Security by eroding the First Ammendment of the U. S. Constitution and encouraging migration of cryptographic industry outside of the U. S. A. are still on the books. If you are a U. S. Citizen, please write to your U. S. Senators, Congressional Representative, President, and Vice President pleading for a more sane and fair cryptographic policy.

Rather than manually encrypting and decrypting files, it is sometimes easier (and therefore more secure, because you are more likely to use it) to use a utility that encrypts or decrypts files on the fly as you use them in your favorite applications. This also allows you to automatically encrypt temporary files generated by your applications if they are on the encrypted volume. http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut01/sfs.html ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/pub/virus/crypt/disk/ ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/I_will_not_export/crypto_???????/disk/ ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/README for the ???????) ftp://miyako.dorm.duke.edu/mpj/crypto/disk/ ftp://ftp.nic.surfnet.nl/surfnet/net-security/encryption/disk/ ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/ibmpc/secdev/secdev14.arj HOW DO I PUBLISH MY PGP PUBLIC KEY?
