All license enforcement mechanisms are fundamentally DRM technologies. DRM uses encryption algorithms, but DRM is not an encryption algorithm. Pretty much all computer security authorities agree that DRM is a shell game. Not only doesn't it work, but it can't work. There are some very strong arguments supporting this proposition. Don't worry about encrypted messages. There's very little chance that someone has figured out how to break the crypto going into an OpenPGP-encrypted message. All that's happened is a DRM system has been circumvented... again. > I want to know how the hackers were able to give me a > signed message? Due to the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, this is a very dangerous question for any U.S. citizen to answer. An overzealous federal prosecutor could easily claim that an in-depth technical explanation amounts to trafficking in circumvention devices. If other people want to answer you, they certainly can. However, I'm not. - -- Robert J. Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Most people are never thought about after they're gone.
