BUG
Digital signatures made with keys 2034-2048 bits in length may be corrupt if
made by any version of PGP released prior to May 1995. To fix this in the
source code, change the line in function make_signature_certificate in
crypto.c from
byte inbuf[MAX_BYTE_PRECISION], outbuf[MAX_BYTE_PRECISION];
to
byte inbuf[MAX_BYTE_PRECISION], outbuf[MAX_BYTE_PRECISION+2];
WHERE CAN I GET VIACRYPT PGP?
Viacrypt has versions of PGP complete with licenses for commercial use of the
RSA and IDEA encryption algorithms. Viacrypt PGP comes in executable code
only (no source code), but it is based on (and just as secure as) the
freeware PGP. Viacrypt PGP for Windows is the only real Windows PGP (and
even it is partially a quickwin executable that looks like a DOS port).
Still, it is much better from an interface standpoint than all the others.
Please contact ViaCrypt for pricing (about $100 up), the latest platforms,
and availablity at 800-536-2664 8:30am to 5:00pm MST, Monday - Friday. They
accept VISA, MasterCard, AMEX and Discover credit cards.

IS PGP LEGAL?
Pretty Good Privacy is legal if you follow these rules:
1. Don't export PGP from the USA except to Canada, or from Canada except to
the USA, without a license.
2. If you are in the USA, use either Viacrypt PGP (licensed for commercial
use) or MIT PGP using RSAREF (limited to personal, noncommercial use).
Outside of the USA, where RSA is not patented, you may prefer to use a
version of PGP (2.6.i) that doesn't use RSAREF to avoid the restrictions of
that license.
3. If you are in a country where the IDEA cipher patent holds in software
(including the USA, Canada, and some countries in Europe), make sure you are
licensed to use the IDEA cipher commercially before using PGP commercially.
(No separate license is required to use the freeware PGP for personal,
noncommercial use). For direct IDEA licensing, contact Ascom Systec.
Ascom Systec has taken over the distribution of IDEA licenses effective April
1, 1995. Erhard Widmer is the person responsible for the sales aspects, and
Peter Hartmann is responsible for the technical aspects. They can be reached
as follows:
Erhard Widmer, Ascom Systec AG, Dep't. CMVV Phone ++41 64 56 59 83
Peter Hartmann, Ascom Systec AG, Dep't. CMN Phone ++41 64 56 59 45
Fax: ++41 64 56 59 90
e-mail: IDEA@ascom.ch
Mail address: Gewerbepark, CH-5506 Maegenwil (Switzerland)
4. Don't sell PGP based on Philip Zimmermann's source code in North America
unless you are reselling for Viacrypt (because they have an exclusive
marketing agreement on Philip Zimmermann's copyrighted code). (Selling
shareware/freeware disks or connect time is OK). This restriction might be
lifted with PGP 3.0, since it is a complete rewrite by Colin Plumb.
Distribution and use restrictions on that version are still to be determined.
5. If you modify PGP (other than porting it to another platform or adapting
it to another compiler), don't call it PGP (TM) or Pretty Good Privacy (TM)
without Philip Zimmermann's permission.
WHAT IS PHILIP ZIMMERMANN'S LEGAL STATUS?
Philip Zimmermann is under investigation for alledged violation of export
regulations, with a grand jury hearing evidence. There is speculation that
the Feds are trying to make an example of Phil by with prolonged and
expensive legal proceedings, thus reaping a reward of Fear, Uncertainty, and
Doubt to discourage development and use of strong crypto in the USA.
Even though people in this country are considered innocent until proven
guilty, there is a problem with the system in that it can take lots of money
for innocent folks to defend themselves. Because of the broad implications
for freedom, privacy, and the First Amendment of the U. S. Constitution in
this case, I implore all of you who can to help out with Phil's rather
significant legal and travel expenses involved in his defense. Phil is a
nice guy with a wife and two children to support, and he has done a great
deal in his PGP social activism to help all of us.
To send a check or money order by mail, make it payable, NOT to Phil
Zimmermann, but to "Philip L. Dubois, Attorney Trust Account." Mail the
check or money order to the following address:
Philip Dubois
2305 Broadway
Boulder, CO USA 80304
(Phone #: 303-444-3885)
To send a wire transfer, your bank will need the following
information:
Bank: VectraBank
Routing #: 107004365
Account #: 0113830
Account Name: "Philip L. Dubois, Attorney Trust Account"
To contribute using your credit card (secured with PGP), simply compose a
message in plain ASCII text giving the following: the recipient ("Philip L.
Dubois, Attorney Trust Account"); the bank name of your VISA or MasterCard;
the name which appears on it (yours, hopefully :-)); a telephone number at
which you can be reached in case of problems; the card number; date of
expiry; and, most important, the amount you wish to donate. (Make this last
item as large as possible.) Then use PGP to encrypt and ASCII-armor the
message using Phil Dubois's public key, distributed with PGP 2.6.2. E-mail
the output file to Phil Dubois (dubois@csn.org). Please be sure to use a
"Subject:" line reading something like "Phil Zimmermann Defense Fund" so
he'll know to decrypt it right away.

All comments on it for the PGP 3.0 API Team should be sent to: <pgp@lsd.com>
WHAT OTHER FILE ENCRYPTION (DOS, MAC) TOOLS ARE THERE?
PGP can do conventional encryption only of a file (-c) option, but you might
want to investigate some of the other alternatives if you do this a lot.
Alternatives include Quicrypt and Atbash2 for DOS, DLOCK for DOS & UNIX,
Curve Encrypt (for the Mac), HPACK (many platforms), and a few others.
Quicrypt is interesting in that it comes in two flavors: shareware exportable
and registered secure. Atbash2 is interesting in that it generates
ciphertext that can be read over the telephone or sent by Morse code. DLOCK
is a no-frills strong encryption program with complete source code. Curve
Encrypt has certain user-friendliness advantages. HPACK is an archiver (like
ZIP or ARC), but with strong encryption.

HOW DO I SECURELY DELETE FILES (DOS)?
If you have the Norton Utilities, Norton WipeInfo is pretty good. I use
DELETE.EXE in del110.zip, which is really good at deleting existing files,
but doesn't wipe "unused" space.

WHAT DO I DO ABOUT THE PASS PHRASE IN MY WINDOWS SWAP FILE?
The nature of Windows is that it can swap any memory to disk at any time,
meaning that all kinds of interesting things could end up in your swap file.

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO PGP VOICE?
It is still in the design stages. Get Nautilus, instead, for now.
WHERE DO I GET NAUTILUS?
Bill Dorsey, Pat Mullarky, and Paul Rubin have come out with a program called
Nautilus that enables you to engage in secure voice conversations between
people with multimedia PCs and modems capable of at least 9600 bps.

HOW DO I ENCRYPT MY DISK ON-THE-FLY?
Rather than manually encrypting and decrypting files, it is sometimes easier
(and therefore more secure, because you are more likely to use it) to use a
utility that encrypts or decrypts files on the fly as you use them in your
favorite applications. This also allows you to automatically encrypt
temporary files generated by your applications if they are on the encrypted
volume.

WHERE IS PGP'S COMPETION?
RIPEM is the second most popular freeware email encryption package. I like
PGP better for lots of reasons, but if for some reason you want to check or
generate a PEM signature, RIPEM is available at ripem.msu.edu. There is also
an exportable RIPEM/SIG.

HOW DO I PUBLISH MY PGP PUBLIC KEY?
Send mail to one of these addresses with the single word "help" in the
subject line to find out how to use them. These servers sychronize keys with
each other.

WWW interface to the key servers:
http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-toplev.html
For $20/year or so, you can have your key officially certified and published
in a "clean" key database that is much less susceptible to denial-of-service
attacks than the other key servers. Send mail to info-pgp@Four11.com for
information, or look at http://www.Four11.com/
My key (mpj8) is at Four11.com, at ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/mpj8.asc,
on the key servers, on my BBS, and available by finger.
WHICH FAQ IS THE OFFICIAL ONE?
The main alt.security.pgp FAQ is published by Jeff A. Licquia
<jalicqui@prairienet.org> and is available at
ftp://ftp.prairienet.org/pub/providers/pgp/pgpfaq.txt
This shorter FAQ just covers a few of the most frequent questions and points
you to the main FAQ for more answers. This file is
ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/getpgp.asc, and is available in two parts for more
limited nets as ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/getpgp1.asc and
ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/getpgp2.asc
There are some other periodic FAQ-related postings, too, like the miniFAQ
posted by Andre Bacard, which is more about promoting the use of PGP than
where to get it or how to use it.
FAQs are also posted to news.answers and alt.answers, and archived at
rtfm.mit.edu.
