-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ============================================================================= PGP version 2.6.3(i)a-c 1. Supports CAST5 and IDEA cipher for conventional encryption. 2. Supports RSA keys up to 4096 bit 3. Does not choke DSS/DH signatures and keys found in key files 4. Supports key expiration time 5. Allows to change "Version: " line 6. Can be used everywhere in the world and outside ============================================================================= 1. This PGP version 2.6.3(i)a-c can use both IDEA or CAST5 cipher for conventional encryption. It is compatible with PGP 2.6 (when using IDEA), PGP 5.x, 6.x, 7.x (when using IDEA or CAST5), GnuPG 1.03 and later (when using CAST5 or IDEA if GnuPG have IDEA module loaded) To make PGP version that is completely free of patented algorithms (IDEA) define DISABLE_IDEA Disabling IDEA cipher will make it incompatible with other PGP 2.6 versions. One of reasons why CAST5 cipher was chosen is because it have the same block size and key size as IDEA so it is easier to add it. To change default cipher add following line in file config.txt: cipher_algo = cast5 or cipher_algo = idea There is also comma line option for selecting cipher: -ji for IDEA -jc for CAST5 Command line option will override cipher defined in config.txt. Cipher only needs to be selected when encrypting. When decrypting PGP will automatically find what cipher is used. ============================================================================= 2. This PGP version also supports RSA keys up to 4096 bit ============================================================================= 3. Unlike other PGP 2.6.x version this version will not import v4 signatures made by newer PGP versions into it's keyring. This means that RAS keys signed by DSS/DH keys can be imported and used. DSS v3 signatures also will not be imported. ============================================================================= 4. This version supports key expiration time. It allows to set key expiration time (whe generating keys) and shows key expiration time. It also shows signature timetamps. ============================================================================= 5. Allows to change "Version: " line. If you don't like that it displays version "PGP 2.6.3ia-c" you can put this line in the config.txt file: version = "PGP 9.8-super" Change it to read whatever version string you wish the program to display. ============================================================================= 6. This version can be used everywhere in the world (well.. maybe except some real bad countries) and outside it (orbital stations, Mars bases...) When compiling do not define USA, even if you are in USA. RSA patent is expired, so there is no need to use RSAREF. ============================================================================= -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia-c Charset: noconv iQEUAwUBOnZ6Jngh9RDtl78/AQFewAf0C/V878u4Fd0Bkf59ZTZyY8+NDHQnJ80H /PtXl2zyw4Xp+bwBvpH1gq6B2HO/WTdiyPZ4vBzRyQZlvZsk6D7h0XaA7aZrIr3s UGDznG6IR+DDYkX+XuaaAMYSGxq75aadCtG/JHrDvu7R3kIEEYmHthQFxjdUNh+X h/Ua2wQP35RV0cBoj3aOqMPejHfYMMHN7d6eHeBmMR799ZLM5DzLgAMAa3keQBCf uEYOk5aaYnFHSCfuFVrtKQ+yTS5RJ+plzE7wSlfDAYqxN5VBs3qG+iY/Jwkt8KN1 98BnzuacMGakuL7Eyd2PjjEH1a4OGECZOlwnTEKXEMgDk7DR2LIp =tYHl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
