PRETTY GOOD PRIVACY
Introduction
PGP 2 is a freely-redistributable public key cryptosystem for MS-DOS,
Amiga, Atari ST and UNIX. With it, you can communicate securely with
other people -- without having to meet beforehand to exchange secret
keys!
Is it secure? Ask Dorothy Denning:
"PGP," warns Dorothy Denning, a Georgetown University professor who
has worked closely with the National Security Agency, "could
potentially become a widespread problem." -- (E. Dexheimer)
Legal Issues
People often claim that PGP is illegal. It isn't. A companion document
to this one explains the legal issues.
Obtaining PGP
You can buy a proper commercial release of PGP for DOS or UNIX (Mac
version coming soon) from ViaCrypt.
Alternatively, here are some places from which you can download PGP.
Look down the list to find the section for the machine or OS you're
using -- DOS, UNIX or whatever. Then look in that section for a site
which is near to you.
__ Remember: Do not obtain PGP from a site in the USA or Canada,
unless you are physically within the borders of the USA or Canada. __
Disobeying the above instruction is probably very very naughty. If you
get your wrists slapped, it isn't my fault.
If you're reading this list on the World Wide Web, you can set your
WWW client to load to disk and click on one of the locations.
Please try to download during hours which are off peak for the machine
in question.
_________________________________________________________________
UNIX PGP 2.3
Compiles best with GCC 2.4.x or higher. A straight port from DOS, so
hardened UNIX users find it a bit chatty.

MACPGP 2.3
A slightly souped-up port of PGP to the Mac. Has help menus and other
goodies, but is still not a real Mac application. However, it works.
Note that the version 2.3 release of MacPGP contains the major bug-fix
which was later added to UNIX/DOS PGP 2.3. There was therefore no need
for a MacPGP 2.3A release; version 2.3 already had the bug fix by the
time it was released. There is no MacPGP 2.3A.

PRETTY GOOD PRIVACY - LEGAL ISSUES
People often claim that PGP is illegal. There are three separate
reasons why they might claim so.
Issue 1: Export Law
It is probable (not certain, but probable) that PGP falls under the
ITAR restrictions, which control the export of munitions and
cryptographic technology from the US and Canada.
If this is the case, it is illegal to export PGP from the USA or
Canada to any other country.
Of course, if you don't get PGP from the US or Canada, the issue is
moot.
Issue 2: Crypto Legality
In some countries, the use of cryptography is restricted by law. For
example, in the UK it is illegal to transmit encrypted data by radio
communication. This is generally the case in other countries, where
Amateur Radio frequencies are concerned.
In some countries, it is outright illegal to encrypt data at all. In
other countries, they're working on it.
Some providers of networking services restrict what sort of traffic is
allowed on their networks. Make sure your service provider allows the
passage of encrypted data.
Issue 3: Patent Stupidity
The RSA public key cryptosystem was developed at MIT by Rivest, Shamir
and Adleman. Shortly before the details were due to be published, some
gentlemen from a US government department reportedly "asked" them to
cancel publication. However, copies of the article had already reached
the outside world; A.K. Dewdney of Scientific American had a photocopy
of the document explaining the algorithm. People began hastily
photocopying and distributing the document.
The RSA algorithm had been developed with Federal funding from grants
from the National Science Foundation and the Navy. It was patented by
MIT (U.S. patent #4,405,829, issued 20th September 1983).
The patent was then handed over to a commercial company in California
called Public Key Partners (PKP). PKP hold the exclusive commercial
license to sell and sub-license the RSA public key cryptosystem. They
also hold other patents which cover other public key cryptography
algorithms. This gives them absolute control over who may legally use
public key cryptography in the US and Canada.
Note that the RSA patents are _not valid_ outside the USA and Canada,
because the patent was not applied for until after publication.
Also note that none of PKP's patents have been tested in court. They
might be ruled invalid in a real court case. PKP have been reluctant
to take people to court, although they did threaten Phil Zimmerman,
the author of PGP, with legal action. So far, there has been a lot of
sabre-rattling, but no real action.
PKP have also been seemingly reluctant to produce any products or
license their patents. Eventually, after PGP 1.0 was released, PKP
released their own RSA code. Called RSAREF, it licensed for test
applications only, not for real use. They have repeatedly refused to
license RSA for use in PGP.
The IDEA algorithm used in PGP is also patented, by Ascom-Tech AG of
Zurich. However, Ascom-Tech allow free use of the IDEA algorithm in
freeware and shareware products.
A US company, ViaCrypt, has side-stepped this legal issue. They had
already licensed the RSA algorithm from PKP, and it was clear that the
license applied to PGP, given a suitable implementation of RSA.
ViaCrypt have therefore been able to start selling an entirely legal,
100% legitimate version of PGP, with all patents properly licensed.
VIACRYPT PGP
ViaCrypt PGP is a commercial public-key encryption package which is
based on, and virtually identical to, the freeware program known as
PGP, or "Pretty Good Privacy".
(The source code is in fact identical to that of the freeware version
2.3a of PGP, with the exception of the RSA encryption module, which is
one ViaCrypt developed in-house after acquiring a license for the
algorithm from PKP. In addition, ViaCrypt incorporates a few bug
fixes. The private-key crypto algorithm is IDEA, as in freeware PGP,
for which ViaCrypt has obtained a license from Ascom-Tech AG of
Zurich.)
ViaCrypt bought its RSA license from PKP before either PKP or ViaCrypt
knew that ViaCrypt would someday use it to sell PGP. ViaCrypt later
acquired the rights to sell PGP from Phil Zimmermann. ViaCrypt's PKP
license clearly allows them to sell PGP. ViaCrypt PGP Output is
byte-for-byte identical with that of freeware PGP 2.3a, except that
the "Version" header before the message body reads "Version: 2.4"
instead of "Version: 2.3a". Keys, signature certificates, and
ciphertexts produced by one program will be identical to, and
transparently handled by, the other.
ViaCrypt PGP is available in the US and Canada only, pending any
future relaxation of the ITAR export control laws. Phil Zimmermann
says that no compromises in the cryptographic strength of PGP were
made for ViaCrypt's version of PGP.
The ViaCrypt PGP package includes program disks (executables only, no
source code), a user manual, and an individual user license. The
current release is available for MS-DOS and UNIX. There is a special
version available which interfaces to CompuServe's CIM. Prices start
at $100 for the DOS version.

Brown, Jr. <as156@yfn.ysu.edu> for the information. _
SO WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN?
We can summarize the legal status of PGP as follows:
* If you live in the USA or Canada, you should buy ViaCrypt PGP.
Otherwise you will be infringeing the patents held by PKP, which
you merely paid for.
* If you live outside the USA or Canada, you can use PGP without
having to worry about patent infringement.
* It may be illegal to send encrypted messages in some countries or
on some networks.
* You should not export PGP from the USA or Canada to any other
country.

WHERE TO GET THE PRETTY GOOD PRIVACY PROGRAM (PGP)
(Last modified: 27 April 1994 by Mike Johnson)
The latest commercial version is 2.4
The latest freeware Mac version is 2.3
The latest freeware version for all other platforms is 2.3a
If you are a commercial user of PGP in the USA or Canada, contact Viacrypt in
Phoenix, Arizona, USA. The commecial version of PGP is fully licensed to use
the patented RSA and IDEA encryption algorithms in commercial applications,
and may be used in corporate environments in the USA and Canada. It is fully
compatible with, functionally the same as, and just as strong as the freeware
version of PGP. Due to limitations on ViaCrypt's RSA distribution license,
ViaCrypt only distributes executable code and documentation for it, but they
are working on making PGP available for a variety of platforms. Call or
write to them for the latest information. The latest information I have from
them on compiled versions are:
MS-DOS 2.4
Unix 2.4 (several different platforms)
WinCIM CSNAV 2.4
Mac version expected late this summer.

The freeware version of PGP is intended for noncommercial, experimental, and
scholarly use. It is available on thousands of BBSes, commercial information
services, and Internet anonymous-ftp archive sites on the planet called Earth.
This list cannot be comprehensive, but it should give you plenty of pointers
to places to find PGP. Although the latest freeware version of PGP was
released from outside the USA (New Zealand), it is not supposed to be
exported from the USA under a strange law called the International Traffic in
Arms Regulations (ITAR). Because of this, please get PGP from a site outside
the USA if you are outside of the USA.
This data is subject to change without notice. If you find that PGP has been
removed from any of these sites, please let me know so that I can update this
list. Likewise, if you find PGP on a good site elsewhere (especially on any
BBS that allows first time callers to access PGP for free), please let me
know so that I can update this list. Thanks to Gary Edstrom and Hugh Miller
for providing part of this data.

This information from: Jim Wenzel <jim.wenzel@grapevine.lrk.ar.us>
PGP 2.3A has been posted to the FidoNet Software Distribution Network and
should on most if not all Canadian and U.S. nodes carrying SDN software. It
has also been posted on almost all of the major private North American BBS
systems, thence to countless smaller boards. Consult a list of your local
BBSes; most with a sizeable file inventory should carry the program.
If you find a version of the PGP package on a BBS or FTP site and it does not
include the PGP User's Guide, something is wrong. The manual should always
be included in the package. If it isn't, the package is suspect and should
not be used or distributed. The site you found it on should remove it so
that it does no further harm to others.
