WHERE CAN I GET THE PGP VERSION DIRECTLY FROM PHILIP ZIMMERMANN? Get the MIT version. See http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp-form.html WHAT IS PGP 2.6.i? Stale Schumacher <staalesc@ifi.uio.no> released an international version of PGP built the "right way." By "right way," I mean that it uses the latest MIT code, but uses a different rsaglue.c to use the mpilib instead of RSAREF for RSA calculations, thus including all the latest bug fixes and features in the main freeware PGP code line, but frees non-USA persons from the limitations of the RSAREF license. This release has been as strongly endorsed by Philip Zimmermann as he can do without incriminating himself. Naturally, by not using the RSAREF code for RSA calculations, this version is not legal for use in the USA (other than limited research, etc.), but is fine anywhere else (like Canada) were RSA patents don't hold. Note that the latest version of Stale Schumacher's PGP is 2.6.i, 2.6i (without the second .) was a beta test version that has been superceded. WHAT IS PGP 2.6ui? The "unofficial international" versions are really just PGP 2.3a, modified just enough to make it compatible with MIT PGP 2.6, but do not include all of the fixes in MIT PGP 2.6 and MIT PGP 2.6.1. They have a "ui" somewhere in their file names. WHERE CAN I GET VIACRYPT PGP? Contact Viacrypt in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. The commecial version of PGP is fully licensed to use the patented RSA and IDEA encryption algorithms in commercial and government environments in the USA and Canada. It is fully compatible with, functionally the same as, and just as strong as the freeware version of PGP. Due to limitations on ViaCrypt's RSA distribution license, ViaCrypt only distributes executable code and documentation for it, but they are working on making PGP available for a variety of platforms. Call or write to them for the latest information. The latest version number for Viacrypt PGP is 2.7. Here is a brief summary of Viacrypt's currently-available products: 1. ViaCrypt PGP for MS-DOS. Prices start at $99.98 2. ViaCrypt PGP for UNIX. Includes executables for the following platforms: SunOS 4.1.x (SPARC) IBM RS/6000 AIX HP 9000 Series 700/800 UX SCO 386/486 UNIX SGI IRIX AViiON DG-UX(88/OPEN) Prices start at $149.98 Executables for the following additional platforms are available upon request for an additional $30.00 charge. BSD 386 Ultrix MIPS DECstation 4.x 3. ViaCrypt PGP for WinCIM/CSNav. A special package for users of CompuServe. Prices start at $119.98 Please contact ViaCrypt for quantity discount pricing. Orders may be placed by calling 800-536-2664 during the hours of 8:30am to 5:00pm MST, Monday - Friday. They accept VISA, MasterCard, AMEX and Discover credit cards.

These listings are subject to change without notice. If you find that PGP has been removed from any of these sites, please let me know so that I can update this list. Likewise, if you find PGP on a good site elsewhere (especially on any BBS that allows first time callers to access PGP for free), please let me know so that I can update this list. Because this list changes frequently, I have not attempted to keep it complete, but there should be enough pointers to let you easily find PGP. There are several ways to get the freeware PGP: ftp, WWW, BBS, CompuServe, email ftp server, and sneakernet (ask a friend for a copy). Just don't ask Philip Zimmermann directly for a copy. FTP SITES IN NORTH AMERICA There are some wierd hoops to jump through, thanks to the U. S. Department of State, at many of these sites. This is apparently because the U. S. Department of State wants to make it easier for people outside of North America to develop, distribute, use, or sell strong cryptographic software than people inside of the USA and Canada -- at least that is the effect of their rules. Telnet to net-dist.mit.edu, log in as getpgp, answer the questions, then ftp to net-dist.mit.edu and change to the hidden directory named in the telnet session to get your own copy. MIT-PGP is for U. S. and Canadian use only, but MIT is only distributing it within the USA (due to some archaic export control laws).

Compuserve file names are even more limited than DOS (6.3 instead of the already lame 8.3), so the file names to look for are PGP262.ZIP, PG262S.ZIP (source code), PGP262.GZ (Unix source code) and PG262D.ZIP (documentation only).

There are several good shells that call the DOS PGP for the actual work, though. I use Viacrypt's, but there are others available as shareware or freeware at most of the sites listed above for PGP itself. IS MY COPY OF PGP GOOD? If you find a version of the PGP package that does not include the PGP User's Guide, something is wrong. The manual should always be included in the package. PGP should be signed by one of the developers (Philip Zimmermann, Jeff Schiller, Viacrypt, Stale Schumacher, etc.).

For a detailed rant, get ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/cryptusa.zip WHAT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RESTRICTIONS EXIST IN THE USA? MIT PGP is only for personal, noncommercial use because of restrictions on the licensing of both the RSA algorithm (attached to RSAREF) and the IDEA algorithm. PKP/RSADSI insist that we use RSAREF instead of the mpi library for reasons that make sense to them. For commercial use, use Viacrypt PGP, which is fully licensed to use both the RSA and IDEA algorithms in commercial and corporate environments (as well as personal use, of course). Another restriction is due to an exclusive marketing agreement between Philip Zimmermann and Viacrypt that applies to the USA and Canada only. Viacrypt has exclusive rights to market PGP commercialy in this area of the world. This means that if you want to market PGP commercially in competition with Viacrypt in the USA or Canada, you would have to create a new implementation of the functions of PGP containing none of Philip Zimmermann's copyrighted code. You are free to modify existing PGP code for your own use, as long as you don't sell it. Phil would also appreciate your checking with him before you distribute any modified versions of PGP as freeware. "PGP", "Pretty Good Privacy" and "Phil's Pretty Good Software" are trademarks owned by Philip Zimmermann. This means that if you modify an older version of PGP that was issued under the copyleft license and distribute it without Phil's permission, you have to call it something else. This avoids confusing all of us and protects Phil's good name. WHAT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RESTRICTIONS EXIST IN CANADA? MIT PGP is only for noncommercial use because of restrictions on the licensing of the IDEA algorithm. Because the RSA algorithm isn't patented in Canada, you are free to use the mpi library instead of RSAREF, if you want to, thus freeing yourself of the RSAREF license associated with the RSAREF copyright, which is valid in Canada. For commercial use, use Viacrypt PGP, which is fully licensed to use the IDEA algorithm in commercial and corporate environments. The exclusive marketing agreement with Viacrypt also applies in Canada. See the section on USA intellectual property restrictions for more details. WHAT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RESTRICTIONS EXIST OUTSIDE NORTH AMERICA? MIT PGP is only for noncommercial in areas where there is a patent on software implementations of the IDEA algorithm. Because the RSA algorithm isn't patented outside of the USA, you are free to use the mpi library instead of RSAREF, if you want to, thus freeing yourself of the RSAREF license restrictions. The RSAREF copyright holds outside of the USA, even though the RSA patent does not. The IDEA conventional block cipher is covered by US Patent 5,214,703 and European patent EP 0 482 154 B1. IDEA is a trademark of Ascom-Tech AG. Commercial users of IDEA (including commercial use of PGP) may obtain licensing details from Ph. Baumann, IDEA Lizenz Ascom Tech AG Postfach 151 CH-4502 Solothurn Switzerland Tel ++41 65 242828, Fax ++41 65 242847. WHAT IS COMMERCIAL USE? Use some common sense. If you are running a business and using PGP to protect credit card numbers sent to you electronically, then you are using PGP commercially. Your customers, however, need not buy the commercial version of PGP just to buy something from you, if that is the only commercial use they make of PGP (since they are spending, not making, money with PGP). If you are just encrypting love letters or other personal mail (for which you don't get paid) on your own personal computer, that is not commercial. If you are encrypting official business mail on your for-profit corporation's computer with PGP, that is commercial use. Note that there are some gray areas not covered above, and the patent owners of RSA and IDEA may differ from my interpretation in the areas not covered above, so if you are in doubt, you should consider the licensing of Viacrypt PGP (or outside of North America, direct licensing of IDEA) to be cheap legal insurance. Indeed, the license fee is probably a lot cheaper than a legal opinion from a lawyer qualified to make such a judgement. Note that I am not a lawyer and the above is not legal advise. Use it at your own risk. ARE MY KEYS COMPATIBLE WITH THE OTHER PGP VERSIONS? If your RSA key modulus length is less than or equal to 1024 bits (I don't recommend less, unless you have a really slow computer and little patience), and if your key was generated in the PKCS format, then it will work with any of the current PGP versions (MIT PGP 2.6, PGP 2.6ui, or Viacrypt PGP 2.7). If this is not the case, you really should generate a new key that qualifies. MIT PGP 2.6.2 should be able to use 2048 bit keys. Generation of 2048 bit keys was supposed to automatically be enabled in PGP 2.6.2 in December, 1994, but a bug caused the actual key limit to be 2047 bits.

Send mail to one of these addresses with the single word "help" in the subject line to find out how to use a key server. pgp-public-keys@pgp.iastate.edu pgp-public-keys@pgp.mit.edu pgp-public-keys@pgp.ai.mit.edu public-key-server@pgp.ai.mit.edu pgp-public-keys@cs.tamu.edu pgp-public-keys@chao.sw.oz.au pgp-public-keys@jpunix.com pgp-public-keys@dsi.unimi.it pgp-public-keys@kiae.su pgp-public-keys@fbihh.informatik.uni-hamburg.de There is also an experimental public key server at http://ibd.ar.com/PublicKeys.html There is an excellent commercial key certification and publication service, too. For $20/year or so, you can have your key officially certified and published in a "clean" key database that is much less susceptible to denial-of-service attacks than the other key servers. People need not pay any fees to retrieve keys so published. Send mail to info-pgp@Four11.com for information, or look at http://www.Four11.com/ You can also mail your key to pgp-public-keys@c2.org, and it will be posted to the subscribers of that mailing list, sent to the keyservers, and posted to alt.security.keydist. To subscribe to the mailing list, send a message to majordomo@c2.org with "subscribe pgp-public-keys" in the body of the message. Another way is to upload it to the PGP public keys area of the Colorado Catacombs BBS (303-772-1062). Another way is to just send it to your correspondents. You could add it to your .plan file so that finger returns your key. You could add it to some of your postings. No matter which way you do it, you should have your key signed by someone who verifies that your key belongs to you, so that you don't have someone else generating a key that has your name on it, but that isn't yours.
