I wanted to look this up, but they're already expired on my system. Sorry. -------8<------------------------------------------------------------------ TITLE Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) VERSION Version 2.3a PLUS AUTHORS The original version was written by Philip Zimmermann, Branko Lankester, Hal Finney, Peter Gutmann and various other contributors. Amiga port and enhancements by Peter Simons , based on the efforts of Cor Bosman. DESCRIPTION Pretty Good(tm) Privacy (PGP), from Phil's Pretty Good Software, is a high security cryptographic software application for MSDOS, Unix, VAX/VMS, Amiga and other computers. PGP allows people to exchange files or messages with privacy, authentication, and convenience. Privacy means that only those intended to receive a message can read it. Authentication means that messages that appear to be from a particular person can only have originated from that person. Convenience means that privacy and authentication are provided without the hassles of managing keys associated with conventional cryptographic software. No secure channels are needed to exchange keys between users, which makes PGP much easier to use. This is because PGP is based on a powerful new technology called "public key" cryptography. And PGP performs the public-key functions faster than most other software implementations. PGP is public key cryptography for the masses. The release consists of two archives: The official release and an enhanced version. Both can be found on in the same directory on the AmiNet--see below for further details. The main archive contains everything you need to run PGP plus sources and several contributions, while the update-archive just contains the new PGP versions the the source-diffs of the changes that have been made.
