OK, thanks for answering. I had only very limited view of the background behind PGP (i.e. stuff about NAI/PGP corp).
One last question: what about the PGPdisk SDA (self-decrypting archives, i.e. executables)? There has been a claim that SDA archives can be decrypted using a debugger. Is it true or false? See the section "Two Ways to bypass PGP SDA Authentication and EXTRACT with success" in the "advisory" http://www.safehack.com/Advisory/pgp/PGPcrack.html. Is the guy confused again? ;-)
