PGP will 'always' give out a non-commercial free personal version, without all the extra's. So you have to cut/paste for the functionality you normal have in outlook etc. I was also wondering if there have been any advances in the field of cryptology. I was reading the book crypto from Levy, (which is a very cool book if you are interested in the history of encryption and how the US goverment tried to keep it all to them selves). It just seems to me that encryption has been standing still now for a couple of years. And that more and more things in our lives involve digital communication, I was wondering why encryption hadn't made it way into those things yet. Why isn't my cellphone encrypted? Anyone who steels it and read my messages, agenda and view my pictures. Why isn't aren't my msn messenger conversations encrypted? Is it just because we don't want it? Or is it because companies and goverments rather see plain text on the wire?

I used PGP Freeware app earlier. But I think that Mcaffe bought that program and now it's shareware I think. Anyone else know anything about this program? I liked it alot but I didn't really understand what the heck happened to it. regards On Wed, 26 Jan 2005 20:27:58 +0100, Zurt <1algorta () rigel deusto es> wrote:

Google and PGP show up only pgp programs that are more then years old. How is encryption these days? What has come by since PGP?

Try www.SPAMfighter.com for free now!I think that nowadays GnuPG is one of the best options, as it has a lot of different front-ends and good integration with the most used MUA's (such as Eudora, Thunderbird, Outlook, etc.). Another good reason to use this software is that it's free software and the project is continuosly updated. -- _____ Zurt Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it. - Thomas Paine.
