hm - it's understandable that things need to be encrypted - but i guess what i think is more of a hobby is the public/private key encryption that folks like to fiddle around with. does your work require you to use public/private keys for encryption and authentication for you personal communication? or do they just require plain-old encryption of your clients data?

In my work I regularly deal with things like credit card information, access to credit processing and records, etc. Encryption is a necessity for my work. Processors *require* me to use it with work. Visa, MC, etc require it for parts of our code. Legislation such as Sarbanes-Oxley (man I'm sick of those words) require I use stuff like this. Sure, just sending to the list, my signing doesn't mean all that much usually. But in work, I need it for certain things. -- Jayce^ -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
