-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- The new PGP Public Key Server which has been running on pgp.ai.mit.edu for the past several months is now available as a beta release. This is the first public release of the code, and while it has proven mostly reliable, it is not guaranteed to be perfect. Because it uses hash tables and balanced trees instead of a flat file format, it trades a disk space for a substantial performance improvement over the old pgp-based key server. The PGP Public Key Server home page can be found at <http://www.mit.edu/people/marc/pks/>. This page contains links to the sources, the server running on pgp.ai.mit.edu, and my thesis, which documents the specification and design of the key server. If you have any problems, questions, or comments, I read comp.security.pgp.tech. That's probably the best forum for discussion and questions, but you can send me email, too. In order to have an idea how how many people are using this key server, if you install it, for public use or not, please let me know.
