Hi Glenn, Could you provide me with some information concerning the Secure Mail System? That service is not currently offered here in HAwaii, and if it is not a difficult system to get rolling, I believe I would be interested in exploring that possibility. Also, have you ever heard of PGP being used to secure mail bundles between email nodes/hubs? If so, how would one go about getting a setup like that going? It would seem to me to be a very logical application of PGP.

SM> The patent violation would be in Phil's acts in writing it in the SM> first place, not in the act of our using the program. SM> At least, that's how the lawyers have explained it to me. At least according to Phil Zimmermann himself (in the PGP documentation), use of PGP prior to version 2.5 may constitute patent infringement on Public Key Partners' RSA patent. It is safe to say that *writing* PGP did not violate any patents, because Phil, who is a large and inviting target, was not sued. Because no laws have been passed about using PGP, use of any version of it is legal. Even though use of PGP is legal, you could have been sued for patent infrigement. (You could still be sued, if you use a version of PGP prior to 2.5.) There was some doubt, as I recall, whether PKP's patent would stand up in court. Since they never sued anyone for using PGP, we probably will never know. John ...

I've seen a cite to the French equivalent of an executive order. The rumor about England seems to have been exaggerated (that is, false). The latest rumors are that Holland and Russia are considering banning it. However, so far as is known, Holland has not yet taken concrete steps to do so. But except for those countries, and a few totalitarian ones where private possession of copying machines, mimeographs, faxes, and even typewriters may be controlled, in the vast majority of all countries there are no restrictions on the use of PGP or other strong encryption. > * Origin: Sound Advice - 24 Nodes (816)436-4516 (1:280/333) -- ___ __ david.chessler@neteast.com d_)--/d chessler@capaccess.org chessler@trinitydc.edu * SLMR 2.1b * E-mail: ->132 1:109/459 david.chessler@neteast.com 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: David Chessler Area: Public Key Encryption To: Richard Dale 25 Apr 95 21:22:00 Subject: Re: encrypted messages UpdReq On 04-23-95 (14:04), Richard Dale, in a message to David Chessler about "RE: ENCRYPTED MESSAGES", stated the following: RD>RD> PGP is illegal in many countries and disapproved of in most >others.

It is not now illegal in any of the states of the former Soviet Union. It is widely used there.
