Good Luck!
Wrong! You must telnet to all.net, but the correct logname is "getpgp" with no password. It will ask you some questions (like are you a US citizen), and then give you an export-controlled ftp directory to go to. As far as I know, however, PGP 5.0 is still in beta test, though you can get a snapshot from there (in source form only). They also have source and binaries for the latest released version of PGP 3. Does anyone know what happened to PGP 4, BTW? Is that version number just being skipped because it was used by Viacrypt or something?

what are you guys talking about??? AFAIK, the most current, released, version of PGP is 2.6.2. Version 3 is not finished and anything you may get your hands on is a prerelease version. PGP 4 and 5 simply don't exist! ...and isn't all.net the site of the Good Doctor Fred Cohen?? andrew

pgp263ia is more recent, and has more bug fixes. pgp263ui more recent still, and has the same bug fixes plus some additional functionality, minus some other functionality. Chronologically: mit pgp262 pgp263i pgp263ia pgp263ui
Version 3 is not finished and anything you may get your hands on is a prerelease version.
You won't be getting your hands on a prerelease version unless you're one of their commercial licensors.
PGP 4 and 5 simply don't exist!
quite so.
...and isn't all.net the site of the Good Doctor Fred Cohen??
Sure is. That part I think was a practical joke. Much like suggesting someone connect to ftp site `127.0.0.1' for kewl war3z. Cohen was actively harrassing people (email to postmaster, employee, etc) who so much as pinged his site, for some unfathomable reason he viewed this as a malicious attack on the security of his machine.

PGP 4 is ViaCrypt's latest version of pgp. It has some features that pgp 2.6.* doesn't have.
From the User's Manual:
ViaCrypt PGP supports three types of keys:
Dual-Function Keys are keys that are interoperable and compatible with pre-4.0 versions of ViaCrypt PGP. They can be used for encryption/decryption and for digital signatures.
Single-Function, Encryption-Only Keys are keys that have been designated to be used for only encryption/decryption, and cannot be used for digital signatures.
Single-Function, Signature-Only Keys are keys that have been designated to be used for only digital signatures, and cannot be used for encryption/decryption. Single function keys are not usable by Version 2.7.1 or earlier.
There is also a "business edition" with still other featuers, namely a "Corporate Access Key".
