As many of us as can write coherent messages should send PGP SIGNED statements of support for Phil Zimmermann to president@whitehouse.gov. This would have several effects: It would show support for freedom of encryption. It would show that people are actually using PGP in their daily lives. And it would put our names on the line; we're giving *proof* that we personally sent those messages. (And for exactly that reason, be sure not to admit to anything illegal or say anything that might be considered a threat of violence.) Can anyone suggest other government E-mail addresses that should also receive these petitions? - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6ui iQBVAgUBLvGdjO4rHMPCLWOFAQGezAH/TwXcI1pGTfqN173REVETMsQ+IO1kSUht g1pBl+uFVi71i1cDdIkdwAEZut+D1VwdmcXdeR2+YA2QPfcwimgPmg== =GrJH - -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - -- Gary McGath gmcgath@condes.mv.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 Comment: Fight to keep the Basic Human Right of Privacy! iQCVAwUBLvOEh49JNB7uOPtBAQHdXAP/YzDCSmvGW3JuJ3HWPRhDgObHbxiWm+sC t+zsKx2VdzLxYgZidTiixVfqYRR7+W49KFIaB2KN7AgK+Scyb43lV1WRnhelU9uJ kaaNE6gKVwLa1Vy5m8ixR8r7g4dF31xB4Pj767ic2UimTkfymLJZxPngmJ1vLTp+ FbsuPHON7nM= =9zv+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Jonathan Benjamin Area: Public Key Encryption To: Brian Giroux 14 Dec 94 13:05:00 Subject: Re: KEY REVOKE UpdReq -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- -=> Quoting Brian Giroux to All <=- BG> I seem to have created a small problem for myself.

OK, just for the record, here are the steps on preparing a key revocation certificate in advance (taken from William Stallings "Protect Your Privacy"): "1. Copy your (not yet revoked) publice key to another file, say an ASCII-armoured file. You need this anyway to send your public key to others. 2. Revoke your key on your public key ring. 3. Copy the (now revoked) key to a backup file that will be saved in a secure place. 4. Remove the revoked key from your key ring. 5. Add your public key back to your key ring from the file generated in step 1." Incidently, I warmly recommend the book "Protect Your Privacy: A Guide for PGP Users" by William Stallings. I am basically a computer idiot, but it got me up and running. At least crawling . -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBLu9CB1rP+IlDzF/dAQFqHQQAyR8EgHbm+TMolR+keijrwnLWz9xSfgVB W5EnsH6ex5FSTEKnCCeU74xCeWVt5q1M00Ws5qbLVyyiVIEOy9i4f8pxS/mIYcW4 Md21CiCshHkec/T6LS9LyqILPIbaPN68IkrvRt1wwooC1qn2+TlfELVjbEZVRbUf klHYU5a1TOY= =iNIq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ~~~ PGPBLUE v1.7 ...

I see the bug in the Pentium--it's been proved--it's a solid, rational, acknowledged flaw.
