How ironic and sad it is that Phil Zimmermann, the author of PGP, has
become so imbued with the enterprise culture that he's now so blind to
the original peer-to-peer spirit of PGP that he would say things like
There is no way to do encrypted e-mail where the content is
protected. [1]
This is simply false.
If sender and receiver exchange keys out-of-band and nobody else knows
the keys, the content can have cryptographically strong protection.
Why would Zimmermann allow himself to be bought off? What kind of
pressure is being brought to bear? Is this protracted world-class human
engineering in action?
