Dear Jonas, Robin and All-
Thanks for the replies.
My feeling is that the front ends are just that , a stick-on for which the
original program was not designed and may introduce who knows what different
insecurities. But commandline does not necessarily afford any more
security. If run from within Windows, it can carry all the different
problems it has. If in Linux, new security holes are discovered for that
every other day.
Any GUI should be designed from within the development team. That the team
does not want a GUI, or one that can be made as secure as possible, is
interesting to me and raises questions. As does purposely limiting key sizes
to what now be marginally secure and designing in incompatibility with a
majority of PGP versions available. 1.0.7 may address some of these, we'll
see.
Yours-
Ridge
