I think this is the correct board to put this message on, but since there are no messages to read here I might be wrong. Does anyone know where to locate the program (algorithm) Pretty Good Protection (PGP) ? I've read about it in the local newspaper, in Scientific American and in the alternate news message area. It sounds like a good encryption scheme and I would like to explore

it's possibilities. Thanks for any assistance.

Kevin, FYI, I keep the most recent version of Mike Johnson's excellent guide on where to find PGP in: ftp.netcom.com:/pub/dd/ddt/crypto/crypto_info/where_is_pgp?.txt This is a plain text file, but (for Mac users) the file: ftp.netcom.com:/pub/dd/ddt/crypto/crypto_info/where_is_pgp?.txt.sea.bin is a self-expanding Mac archive (faster transfer time). There're some other informational files in that dir, and any cpunks who know of a quintessential PGP info file is encouraged to let me know so I can post it there. Remember, this "archive" is oriented toward new PGP users who need friendly information on why/how/who/where/when etc. If you're in the US or Canada, you can also find the most up-to-date version of the MacPGP application in this directory: ftp.netcom.com:/pub/dd/ddt/crypto/NOT_FOR_EXPORT Be sure to read the ReadMe files detailing the export restrictions, since transfer of this software to a system or machine outside of the US or Canada is strictly verboten. Send email to <pgp-questions@lsd.com> if you have further questions. dave ______________________________________________ "Civil Liberty Through Simple Cryptography."
