I wouldn't get too comfortable with that, Is there really any way of confirming that Government agencies can or can't break PGP? The People at Passware have produced some interesting tools over the years and who is to say they don't have some juicy Government contracts or some arm-twisting has been done to them? regards Joachim _______________________________________________ The Uganda Linux User Group: http://linux.or.ug Send messages to this mailing list by addressing e-mails to: [email protected] Mailing list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Mailing list settings: http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug To unsubscribe: http://kym.net/mailman/options/lug The Uganda LUG mailing list is generously hosted by INFOCOM: http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
