Is VIACrypt PGP authorized for use byPKP?
I would appreciate some commentary as to whether the VIACRYPT PGP MSDOS package is licensed for use by PKP (Public Key Partners). It is my belief that it is.
From what I know, based upon reading the ViaCrypt PGP documenation and from what I've heard from other sources, ViaCrypt has a license with PKP for their RSA engine software. As such, ViaCrypt can do anything they want with that software.
So, ViaCrypt replaced the RSA engine in PGP with their own, licensed RSA engine. As far as PKP is concerned, ViaCrypt can do this, and PKP can't say anything. As to whether or not there are other problems with PGP, well, I won't comment on that. If you own ViaCrypt PGP, you have a fully licensed program, and PKP cannot touch you for using it. -derek
