Viacrypt has versions of PGP complete with licenses for commercial use of the RSA and IDEA encryption algorithms. Viacrypt PGP comes in executable code only (no source code), but it is based on (and just as secure as) the freeware PGP. Viacrypt PGP for Windows is the only real Windows PGP (and even it is partially a quickwin executable that looks like a DOS port). Still, it is much better from an interface standpoint than all the others. Please contact ViaCrypt for pricing (about US $100 up), the latest platforms, and availablity at 800-536-2664 8:30am to 5:00pm MST, Monday - Friday. They accept VISA, MasterCard, AMEX and Discover credit cards. Viacrypt is currently working on preparing the release of version 4.0 (personal) and version 4.0 (business). The business edition adds a few extra key management features (like master keys) that are of use to businesses, but not really useful for persnal email.

GO NCSAFORUM. Follow the instructions there to gain access to Library 12: Export Controlled. Compuserve file names used to be seriously limited, so look for PGP262.ZIP, PG262S.ZIP (source code), PGP262.GZ (Unix source code) and PG262D.ZIP (documentation only). AOL Go to the AOL software library and search "PGP" or ftp from ftp://ftp.csua.berkeley.edu/pub/cypherpunks/pgp or another site listed above or below. It is possible to get PGP from ftp sites with hidden directories with the following trick: (1) View the README file with the hidden directory name in it, then quickly (2) Start a new ftp connection, specifiying the hidden directory name with the ftp site's address, like ftp.csn.net/mpj/I_will_not_export/crypto_xxxxxxx (where the xxxxxxx is replaced with the current character string).

PGP itself is morally neutral. What you do with it is not. Protecting privacy, prevention of criminal theft, and taking due diligence to protect certain business information (like credit card numbers, customer lists, etc.) are good uses for PGP. Concealing criminal or other immoral activity is wrong. You can fool the police some of the time, but you can't fool God. IS PGP LEGAL? Pretty Good Privacy is legal if you follow these rules: * Don't export PGP from the USA except to Canada, or from Canada except to the USA, without a license. * If you are in the USA, use either Viacrypt PGP (licensed for commercial use) or MIT PGP using RSAREF (limited to personal, noncommercial use). Outside of the USA, where RSA is not patented, you may prefer to use a version of PGP (2.6.i) that doesn't use RSAREF to avoid the restrictions of that license. * If you are in a country where the IDEA cipher patent holds in software (including the USA, Canada, and some countries in Europe), make sure you are licensed to use the IDEA cipher commercially before using PGP commercially. (No separate license is required to use the freeware PGP for personal, noncommercial use). For direct IDEA licensing, contact Ascom Systec. Ascom Systec has taken over the distribution of IDEA licenses effective April 1, 1995. Erhard Widmer is the person responsible for the sales aspects, and Peter Hartmann is responsible for the technical aspects. They can be reached as follows: Erhard Widmer, Ascom Systec AG, Dep't. CMVV Phone +41 64 56 59 83 Peter Hartmann, Ascom Systec AG, Dep't. CMN Phone +41 64 56 59 45 Fax: +41 64 56 59 90 e-mail: IDEA@ascom.ch Mail address: Gewerbepark, CH-5506 Maegenwil (Switzerland) * Don't sell PGP based on Philip Zimmermann's source code in North America unless you are reselling for Viacrypt (because they have an exclusive marketing agreement on Philip Zimmermann's copyrighted code). (Selling shareware/freeware disks or connect time is OK). This restriction does not apply to PGP 3.0, since it is a complete rewrite by Colin Plumb. Distribution and use restrictions on that version are still to be determined. * If you modify PGP (other than porting it to another platform or adapting it to another compiler), don't call it PGP (TM) or Pretty Good Privacy (TM) without Philip Zimmermann's permission. 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.

PGP can do conventional encryption only of a file (-c) option, but you might want to investigate some of the other alternatives if you do this a lot. Alternatives include Quicrypt and Atbash2 for DOS, DLOCK2 for DOS & UNIX, Curve Encrypt (for the Mac), HPACK (many platforms), and a few others. Quicrypt is interesting in that it comes in two flavors: shareware exportable and registered secure. Atbash2 is interesting in that it generates ciphertext that can be read over the telephone or sent by Morse code. DLOCK is a no-frills strong encryption program with complete source code. Curve Encrypt has certain user-friendliness advantages. HPACK is an archiver (like ZIP or ARC), but with strong encryption. A couple of starting points for your search are: ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/qcrypt11.zip ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/pub/virus/crypt/file/ ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/I_will_not_export/crypto_???????/file/ ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/README for the ???????) ftp://ftp.miyako.dorm.duke.edu/mpj/crypto/file/ HOW DO I SECURELY DELETE FILES (DOS)?

Bill Dorsey, Pat Mullarky, and Paul Rubin have come out with a program called Nautilus that enables you to engage in secure voice conversations between people with multimedia PCs and modems capable of at least 7200 bps (but 14.4 kbps is better).

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. Secure File System (SFS) is a DOS device driver that encrypts an entire partition on the fly using SHA in feedback mode. Secure Drive also encrypts an entire DOS partition, using IDEA, which is patented. Secure Device is a DOS device driver that encrypts a virtual, file-hosted volume with IDEA. Cryptographic File System (CFS) is a Unix device driver that uses DES. 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 WHERE IS PGP'S COMPETITION? RIPEM is the second most popular freeware email encryption package. I like PGP better for lots of reasons, but if for some reason you want to check or generate a PEM signature, RIPEM is available at ripem.msu.edu. There is also an exportable RIPEM/SIG. ftp://ripem.msu.edu/pub/GETTING_ACCESS HOW DO I PUBLISH MY PGP PUBLIC KEY?
