wanted dead or alive: pgp5.5 key pair
Could some kind soul who has downloaded pgp5.5 for business (I think it is available in the US from www.pgp.com) create a key with a CMR key extension. I guess this means generating two keys: XYZ Corp recovery key <snoopy@xyz.com> and then: XYZ Corp Sales <sales@xyz.com> with the sales person's key set up to have a strict requirement to encrypt to the XYZ "message recovery" key. Could this kind soul then mail me, (or post here I guess would be even more useful) both the private and public keys of both of them. Enciphering minds want to find out how pgp5.0 reacts to this key :-) (The question is really does pgp5.0 encrypt to the CMR key). (btw for the curious as to why my previous message was had a date of 22nd Feb ... I had to set my clock back to get pgp5.0 beta to function as the one I have had expired, and I forgot to set the clock forward again). Adam -- Now officially an EAR violation...

(The question is really does pgp5.0 encrypt to the CMR key).
Why not just try to send a message to "phil@pgp.com"? Surely PGP, Inc. is itself using its own product? (I know if I were Jon Seybold and I had a radical"No nukes" nut like Phil on my staff, :-), I'd want to monitor what he was saying to people and what they were saying to him.) --Tim May The Feds have shown their hand: they want a ban on domestic cryptography ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.

Just returned from the source ... PGP 5.0 does encrypt to every so called 'message recovery key' mentioned in the public key self certificate option if it is marked required or optional. If a key is missing, it fails encryting. IIRC it does work on unhashed uncritical signature packets, too.
