I'll be working on developing a transparent public key encryption system for e-mails as my dissertation next year, so the uptake of such schemes is very much an interest of mine.
hmm, this brought up somethign i was having problems with last night. I've written a filter for perl that accepts mail just as it's about to be written to a transport, finds the body, encrypts it (using specified users public key), and then writes it to the mailspool, all very easy in exim. However, i'm using Crypt::OpenPGP, which works great for gpg, but users using PGPfW seems to barf with "armour now in ascii format". any ideas what this means ? more to the point, which bloody algorythms get used with which versions? GnuPG uses symmetric cipher Rijndael for encryptyion, compression with zlib, and uses modification detection code. It signs using RIPE-MD/160 digest, and packet format is version 4. which is good. except.... what the hell does PGPfW understand, 'cause it doesn't like my OpenPGP signed mails. btw, debian appeared to lack a libcrypt-openpgp-perl package, so i'v ecreated it (and a number of it's deps) at http://theo.me.uk/downloads/debian/. there are also a few other packages i look after/create there. ~ Theo - -- Theo Zourzouvillys http://zozo.org.uk/ You have an unusual magnetic personality.
