Bug#237370: O: pgp5i -- Public key encryption system (International version)
Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2004-03-11
Severity: normal
I intend to orphan the pgp5i package.
The package description is:
Pretty Good Privacy is general-purpose public key encryption
system written by Philip Zimmerman. It is often used in email
conversations where confidentiality and integrity are important.
.
This is version 5.0i, and has significant changes compared to
2.6.3a. You may want to consider keeping the old version handy.
Please familiarize with pgp before using it for real, or you
will loose any security you might have gained.
.
This version of PGP is the `International' version from Stale
Schumacher. It is somewhat faster, and has more useful features.
However, it does not have a license for its use of the RSA
cryptosystem, on which some nasty people claim a patent.
I am no longer using this package, since it is non-free and I am using
gpg. Upstream does not maintain the package anymore. If nobody else is
needing it, it could be dropped completely.
