    FBI, CIA, NSA, and PGP security...

    Is PGP secure? Rumors abound. Here are a few links that explore this subject:

    PGP 6.5.8 last open source. Phil Zimmermann's statement:

    Scarfo and the FBI:

    Just today I was wondering

    what PRZ said when NAI ended open source PGP. Then I come here and... Thanks for the link, Blacksheep. I trust 7.0.* more now after reading his statement.

    The article about RSA was interesting but written a "long" time ago, in ***6. Wonder what the theoretical computational time for breaking RSA is in 200*-2...?

    As for Carnivore and Echelon they are facts of life and not a damn thing we can do about either of them :-(

    Glad you found the post of interest johnny...

    I dunno if I trust NAI. I use PGP 6.5.8 downloaded from MIT:
