Re: Tough Choices: PGP vs. RSA Data Security
Maybe this is a solution... A core group of us coders take on the task of merging PGP functionality into MailSafe, we do the work for nominal cost or for free, this new version of MailSafe can become REALLY slick and worth paying the $125 or what-ever he is charging for it, AND it will be PGP compatable. We them retrofit PGP to use RSA's RSAREF or whatever else it takes to bring PGP into complience and PGP stays FREE, and unsupported, we suspend further development and make it sort of like a demo program or freeware, but if you want the really seemless UI you buy the product, Bidzos gets money, we get to deploy a program that educates the masses about the use of strong crypto, and since they are compatible, the use of the freeware can't help but encourage the use of the "product". The bottom line is that strong crypto is made available to the public, This solution might require that a few egos deflate a bit but I'm sure a varient of this could work.
