Pick up PGP versions 2.2 - 6, and the non-RSAREF 6ui, from ftp.dsi.unimi.it /pub/security/crypt/PGP Unless Australia forbids _importing_ crypto, not a crime. PGP 6 is the MIT RSAREF version, so someone violated ITAR to get it to Italy. Using it outside the US and Canada also violates RSADSI's _copyrights_. PGP 6ui was released from the UK, and therefore does not violate ITAR. It doesn't use RSAREF, so it doesn't violate RSADSI copyrights. If used in the US, it does violate RSADSI _patents_. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rishab Aiyer Ghosh They came for the Jews, and I was silent because I was not a Jew; rishab@dxm.ernet.in They came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not protest, because I did not Voice/Fax/Data +91 11 6853410 belong to a trade union; Voicemail +91 11 3760335 They came for the Catholics, and I said nothing because I was not a Catholic; H 34C Saket And then they came for me.

There are no restrictions on importing crypto into Australia, there are some on export (hardware only) due to COCOM. ObBtw, I recently queried our Attorney-General's department on this topic, along with, inter alia, questions relating to whether Clipper like systems are of interest to authorities in Australia. The reply, the AG's Security Division, was that `I understand that encryption is not an issue' -- but he acknowledged they'd been following the US controversy. I'm still waiting for some replies back from another Government Dept and have a few other avenues to chase up, when I do I'll make available the information (if this particular geographic oddity is of interest to anyone ?).

I thought COCOM was dead as of last March or thereabouts. Did a replacement committee ever get formed? Joe
