- PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is RSA public-key and IDEA private-key
-
- encryption freeware originally for MSDOS and ported to many platforms
-
- including this version on the Macintosh. It is used to protect files and
-
- E-mail, and allow you to communicate securely with people you've never
-
- met, with no secure channels needed for prior exchange of keys. PGP is
-
- well featured and fast! Comes with excellent documentation by Phil
-
- Zimmermann.
-
-
- PGP has sophisticated key management, an RSA and conventional hybrid
-
- encryption scheme, message digests for digital signatures, data
-
- compression before encryption, and good ergonomic design. Source code
-
- is free.
