Seems to me, perhaps, that the introduction of 2.6 might be a precursor to RSA legally cracking down on anyone running pre-2.6 versions (accepting that 2.4, viacrypt, is ok).
How can they crack down on key-servers running only the keymanagement code? I don't think they can, but if they're in cahoots with the FED's then they can do what they want because they have guns.
Scarey if you think about it, especially if the RSA folx are in bed with the fed, which doesn't seem that unrealistic considering the political climate. That, coupled witht he fact that no one has yet verified the seciurity of 2.5/2.6 lead me to seriously question the security of this new version, since we are essentially being forced to use it if RSA starts suing everyone, or gets the fed to crack down because of patent infringement.
I'm willing to wager that this 2.6 and maybe 2.5 versions are hacked by the NSA to put in their spiffy key-escrowed backdoor. Anyone think 2.6 *doesn't* have a backdoor added? - -- Allan Bailey, allan@elvis.tamu.edu | "Freedom is not free."
