-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- PGP 2.1 Available - ----------------- Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) Version 2.1 is now available, from Europe. This new version of the world's most popular and politically controversial public key encryption program has numerous bug fixes over version 2.0, and several new features. For example, you can now display the MD5 hash of a public key, to facilitate verifying it over the telephone with the owner of that public key. Also, it is now possible to send via email an unencrypted signed message without putting the whole message in Radix-64 format, to make it possible to read without PGP. This is analogous to the PEM MIC-CLEAR signed message functionality. PGP 2.1 incorporates many patches from the user community to port it to more platforms. And it runs faster. Also, a lot of annoying bugs and ergonomic oversights have been fixed. PGP 2.0 fans will find many rough edges have been smoothed out. The filenames are pgp21.zip for the MSDOS executable release, and pgp21src.zip for the source code release. You must have PKUNZIP version 1.1 or later to unzip them, or they won't unzip. The primary initial FTP sites that have it are: Finland: nic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100) Directory: /pub/unix/security/crypt/ Italy: ghost.dsi.unimi.it (149.132.2.1) Directory: /pub/security/ As previously, this prohibited and politically popular program will probably propagate through the same channels as PGP 2.0. Of course, if you live in the USA, you really shouldn't be using it. If you have any questions about where else to get it, contact Hugh Miller, at hmiller@lucpul.it.luc.edu. Hugh can send you the latest evolving list of FTP sites, BBS phone numbers, and other sources.
