Pretty Good Piracy
If anyone has a copy of Viacrypt's Pretty Good Prying, it would be nice if they would make it available to those who want to get to work finding out how to best sabotage it. I am not against Viacrypt producing surveillance software for those who want it, but I resent their perversion of a product whose reputation capital is the result of the integrity and effort of a great many people whose interests lie in privacy, not in surruptitious surveillance. I can guarantee that any system I have access to which contains this twisted sister of PGP will have my hand up its dress, playing with its private parts. What is ViaCrypt's marketing plan? "Make sabotaging the security of your system a badge of honour among the elite of the computer security industry. Buy mis-represented PGP." "You need not fear our product having been sabotaged by privacy purists within ViaCrypt, because we fired all the people with integrity." "We stole the reputation, but we wouldn't steal your information." "It's not GAK. I was just clearing my throat." "Tired of the employees banging your wife...?" RottsaRaffsMongel

Okay - the only difference between this and a normal version of PGP is that it always encrypts to a certain key-id, in addition to all others. That's the only weakness you'll see in it. So stop bitching about a feature that business is going to require before rolling out PGP to the whole enterprise. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.0 Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBNDf4ejc3ytqHnNyNAQFGUwQAlIcR54r60O21kn8W122pK06XxtaXLtyR p/spjqOkEtk5F0Mdl43MYJH/q07tsE5/Ud+SKxQ3CV3A6L8tojZoK53tuFt0BsSK FsJRVXT7yCC11G11BiAHUipMt+qJHDkwGzi32hmvInYtQ8R0Cywo/zmcUfSGMyaT iWfV+6Z1ygc= =cK+x -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ryan Anderson - <Pug Majere> "Who knows, even the horse might sing" Wayne State University - CULMA "May you live in interesting times.." randerso@ece.eng.wayne.edu PGP Fingerprint - 7E 8E C6 54 96 AC D9 57 E4 F8 AE 9C 10 7E 78 C9 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
