Tony Cox - (415)926-3105 <[email protected]> · Fri, 24 Feb 1995 12:16:53 PST

The latest thinking on software distribution (from yesterdays Beamline
Controls and Data Acquisition Committee meeting, presentation by Dave Wallis)
is that APS will be providing software through password-protected ftp.

I really have no particular preference here, and if APS thinks this is
sufficient then its fine by me (it will certainly be very nice to be able 
to downline-load the latest-and-greatest easily).

I've received three requests for further info on PGP via e-mail, however, so
I'm uploading the most recent PGP FAQ (from 14 Feb 95). It occurs to me that
this will be of use to those collaborators who might not have a convenient
internet connection. I apologize for the bandwidth...

regards
Tony

CRYPTO LAW AND PGP

Pretty Good Privacy is legal if you follow these rules:

1.  Don't export PGP from the USA except to Canada, or from Canada except to
the USA, without a license.

2.  If you are in the USA, use either Viacrypt PGP (licensed for commercial
use) or MIT PGP using RSAREF (limited to personal, noncommercial use).
Outside of the USA, where RSA is not patented, you may prefer to use a
version of PGP (2.6.i) that doesn't use RSAREF to avoid the restrictions of
that license.

3.  If you are in a country where the IDEA cipher patent holds in software
(including the USA, Canada, and some countries in Europe), make sure you are
licensed to use the IDEA cipher commercially before using PGP commercially.
(No separate license is required to use the freeware PGP for personal,
noncommercial use).  For direct IDEA licensing, contact:

Ph. Baumann, IDEA Lizenz
Ascom Tech AG
Postfach 151
CH-4502 Solothurn
Switzerland

Tel ++41 65 242828, Fax ++41 65 242847.

4.  Don't sell PGP in North America unless you are reselling for Viacrypt
(because they have an exclusive marketing agreement on Philip Zimmermann's
copyrighted code).

5.  If you modify PGP (other than porting it to another platform or adapting
it to another compiler), don't call it PGP (TM) or Pretty Good Privacy (TM)
without Philip Zimmermann's permission.

HOW DO I PUBLISH MY PGP PUBLIC KEY?

Send mail to one of these addresses with the single word "help" in the
subject line to find out how to use them.  These servers sychronize keys with
each other.

For $20/year or so, you can have your key officially certified and published
in a "clean" key database that is much less susceptible to denial-of-service
attacks than the other key servers.  Send mail to [email protected] for
information, or look at http://www.Four11.com/

You can also mail your key to [email protected], and it will be posted
to the subscribers of that mailing list, sent to the keyservers, and posted
to alt.security.keydist.  To subscribe to the mailing list, send a message to
[email protected] with "subscribe pgp-public-keys" in the body of the message.
