I do work for a security company, you know.</div> <bR> <div> I use two types of email encryption, PGP, and S/MIME. PGP is used by hard-core unix types since the early 90's, but recently I have seen a nifty Microsoft Outlook PGP tool that works well. S/MIME is the standard type of email encryption used in both Microsoft Outlook (Exchange and Express) and the Netscape Messenger.</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> I prefer S/MIME.</div> <bR> <div> <I>PGP</I></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="444" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 38 WIDTH="158"><div> <A HREF="http://www.pgpi.org/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.pgpi.org/"><U>International PGP Home Page</U></A></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="136"><div> <A HREF="http://www.pgp.com/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.pgp.com/"><U>Commercial PGP Home Page</U></A></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="134"><div> <A HREF="http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp.html" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp.html"><U>MIT distribution site for PGP</U></A></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="158"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="19" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="158" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="136"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="19" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="136" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="134"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="19" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="134" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> Outlook users (and other windows users), Get the latest PGP freeware for your windows PC from the MIT distribution site.</div> <bR> <div> For those of you that groove on Eudora get the<A HREF="http://www.eudora.com/central/plugins/pgp.html" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.eudora.com/central/plugins/pg"><U> </U></A><A HREF="http://www.eudora.com/central/plugins/pgp.html" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.eudora.com/central/plugins/pg"><U>Eudora Plug-In for PGP</U></A></div> <bR> <div> This is the<A HREF="http://pgpkeys.mit.edu:11371/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://pgpkeys.mit.edu:11371/"><U> </U></A><A HREF="http://pgpkeys.mit.edu:11371/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://pgpkeys.mit.edu:11371/"><U>MIT public PGP key server</U></A><A HREF="http://pgpkeys.mit.edu:11371/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://pgpkeys.mit.edu:11371/"><U>.</U></A> The link will probably not work if you are behind a firewall.</div> <bR> <div> Super propeller heads can just add my key from the command prompt</div> <div> pgpk -a hkp://pgp5.ai.mit.edu:11371/pierre@nova.org</div> <bR> <div> If you are using the window-based PGP tools, just search for my key using the tools that are provided with the software.</div> <bR> <div> I keep two keys out on the PGP key servers, my </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Diffie-Hellman Key, whose key id is <B>0x50E91A08</B> and my </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">RSA KEY, whose key id is 0x644D5B39 </div> <bR> <div> Add my DH key.

Personally I use Outlook to read my S/MIME email.  I have two S/MIME keys that correspond to two different email addresses, one for business and one for personal use.</div> <bR> <div> The EASIEST WAY to get my S/MIME key is to ask me to send you a piece of email, that I have signed. Your Outlook or Netscape program will configure themselves properly with my key, when they receive a signed piece of email from me using S/MIME.</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
