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.

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.

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.

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. mathew ------------------------------ From: sonny@netcom.com (James Hicks) Date: 30 Apr 1994 03:03:51 GMT Subject: Re: Phillip Zimmermann's Encryption program anybody??

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. ViaCrypt David A.

(800)536-2664 (8-5 MST M-F) 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.
