- Someone asked about the book I am writing. Title is Digital Privacy, a
- self defense manual written for people who know how to turn a computer on
- if someone shows them where the power switch is.
- In addition to cryptography, it covers anti-theft products and measures
- one can use, van Eck transient radiation interception, and computer
- hacking. It will be printed in the next few weeks.
- Someone suggested that I have "sold out to RSADS" because I have
- recommended MailSafe as the most user friendly program available for non
- programmers and engineers to use to secure their files.
- Not true. Like I said, this book is for the "average" user.
- I have concluded that using RSA keys longer than 200 digits and triple
- encrypting the DES (360 bit keyspace?) are totally unnecessary for the
- average person and small business owner. I believe that MailSafe provides
- more than enough security.
- Finally, thank you to all who have provided useful information. I am very
- grateful.
