For more information about the EFF go check out http://www.eff.org DeCSS is a small program that decrypts DVDs. Hollywood is pretty much upset by that and sued everyone that had or linked to DeCSS. The EFF frequently sponsers lawyers etc.. RSA is a public key encryption algorithm. It was patented in the US and everyone using it had to use their implementation and pay them lotsa monies. It's the algorithm that was used in the earlier versions of PGP. It's still supported, but the default right now is ElGamal/DSA, only because RSA was patented :) erwin --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
