Greets, all... I don't remember hearing this exact use of privacy-enhanced voice communication discussed on the list before, but I might not have been paying attention. :-) What do you think about encrypting voice communication in a non-real-time sense? Say I record a message (8-bit CODEC) on my NeXT or on a friend's PC Soundblaster and then encrypt/scramble the file in such a way that the resultant file is still audible. I can then leave that message on the recipient's answering machine or voice mail box for him to later record and decrypt on his computer. This method would make private voice communication more accessable, as it doesn't require real-time levels of performance. Perhaps one of the PGP gurus could advise on how this sort of private communications could be accomplished. If PGP is used as the encryption tool, then making the encrypted file audible is not unlike making an encrypted file "readable" by turning it into mailable ASCII. It is probably important to consider that recording an "audio armored" encrypted voice message to an answering machine or voice mail box will introduce various kinds of distortion. Is anyone experienced with error-correction methods for audio transmissions? Jason Asbahr 116 E.
