This text includes the PGP public key of Jeff Cook, agent for Thunderbyte
Anti-Virus.
∙ PGP uses public-key encryption to protect E-mail and data files in
order to allow secure communications between individuals with no
secure channels needed for prior exchange of keys. PGP is freeware
and is (c) Copyright by Philip Zimmermann.
In a nutshell, it works like this:
∙ When properly configured, you may execute:
PGP -KG
This will generate your key set, which will consist of one public
key and one secret key.
∙ Any file encrypted with your public key (as provided by you) may only
be decrypted by you, using your secret key.
∙ My public key is available as COOK.PGP on the Thunderbyte USA BBS at
FidoNet address 1:150/520, or (302) 732-6399. It is also available
on the Thunderbyte support BBS operated by Frans Veldman at FidoNet
address 2:280/200, or +31-85-212395. PGP is also available from these
BBSs for download or file request.
∙ After obtaining my public key, you may add it to your keyring using
the command:
PGP -KA COOK.PGP
∙ Should you desire to send me a private file, you need only encrypt it
with my public key using the command:
PGP -E <filename> "Jeff Cook"
PGP will create a file with the same name as the original file, but
with the extension '.PGP'. You may now safely send me that file, as
I am the only one who is able to decrypt it.
∙ If you wish to verify that a PGP-signed file originated from me,
you may verify my signature by using the command:
PGP <filename>
To send E-mail from an Internet site to my FidoNet address:
∙ My FidoNet address is 1:150/520, which can be translated as "Zone 1,
Net 150, FidoNode 520, Point 0.". Thus, my "Fully Qualified Domain
Name" is "f520.n150.z1.fidonet.org". Since my Point number is 0, it
may be dropped.
∙ My name is added as "Jeff.Cook" (note the period rather than a space),
so my complete address is "Jeff.Cook@f520.n150.z1.fidonet.org".
∙ The Domain Name Server (DNS) on the Internet for the .fidonet.org
domain will tell your server the IP-address of the MX-receiver
for the gateway node that is handling traffic for my "Net" within
FidoNet. If necessary, the message will be routed to the MX-receiver
for 1:1/31. The message will then be gated and routed via the FidoNet
backbone for delivery to my system.
