-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- This is the C-KT build of pgp, it is based on the v5.5.3 source code released by pgpi.com. ************************************************************* * CHANGES IN THIS BUILD - JUNE 98 ************************************************************* * 1) Expanded key server list. * 2) Latest Yeoh/Annonymous Patch to KeyID column in pgplog. * 3) Decrypt dialog box more user friendly and informative. * 4) Root directory problem has been addressed. * 5) PGP pdf format manual has been omitted to cut down size * and speed up download. ************************************************************* It has been modified to allow the use and generation of RSA keys up to 8192 bit in length. I have added some key servers, namely, pgp.ai.mit.edu, pgp5.ai.mit.edu (Bal's Key servers), and those of the pgp.net. The default server in this build is: Idap://certserver.pgp.com. I have also added a KeyID column to pgplog. I must give credit to Lincoln Yeoh and the anonymous poster of a message in alt.security.pgp, for this handy enhancement to pgplog. The KeyID column modification in this build implements a much cleaner patch to SigEvent.c as suggested by Lincoln Yeoh and later fixed by the original anonymous poster. Many thanks to both Lincoln Yeoh and the annoymous poster. This build also implement the enhencements to the decrypt dialog as suggested by the anonymous poster. This makes the decrypt dialog box more user friendly and informative. 1) It shows the full user ID in the first column, the key size in the second, and the key ID in the third. 2) It displays the key ID of any unknown private keys. The user ID will be reported as "Unknown Private Key" and the size will be reported as "???" 3) It places a key pair icon to the left of the user ID. This will show whether the key is RSA or DH and whether it's active, expired, revoked, or not on your secring file. Unknown keys will display a question mark icon. The full text of the usenet postings is available in the file pgplogmod.txt. If you have agent you may just import this file for easy reading. There was a problem in pgp5.5.3 which caused an un-controled proliferation key ring backups to occur when the key rings were stored in the root directory. This problem has been addressed in a safe manner in this build. Please note that all my public keys may be found in the signatures directory in the pgp install directory. Please also note that the PGP Outlook Express plugin is not included in this build. Since the source code, as far as I know, has never been released by NAI. For those seeking the Outlook Express plugin, please check in this url for the most recent version:- ftp://ftp.replay.com/pub/replay/pub/pgp/pgp50/3rdparty/outlook/ I have built this version for my own personal use. I can state that as far as I am aware, there are no back-doors in this build, that the program can generate and use 8192 bits RSA keys, and that the integrity of the program has not been compromised by my modifications. Please note, that this is not a "Warezed" version of PGP. And I, the compiler of the source code, hereby declare that I do not own or claim ownership of the binaries so produced. It is being made available "Gratis" to facilitate the process of satisfying the PGP users community that the current commercial release of PGP is still secure and trustworthy. Therefore, it is my fervent hope, that all users of this package observe all applicable laws with regards to copyrights, patents, and other laws that may govern its use.
