    Pegasus Mail

    Pegasus is, in my opinion, the best E-mail program available. Its features include mail filtering, Novell Netware support, POP3 support, generic network support and User Defined Gateways. It can decode UUCODE, MIME and BINHEX attachments. A multitude of addons are available for UUCP, SMTP, PGP Encryption remote users (linkmate utilities) other applications and mail systems.

    Pretty Good Privacy (PGP)

    PGP is an asymmetrical encryption program. Although the source code has been available for many years no one has found any way to break it except brute-force factoring or taking discrete logarithms, both difficult problems. It uses two keys, a public key and a private key. Messages encrypted with the public key can only be decoded using the private key. However it is not possible to deduce the private key from the public key except factoring or taking discrete logs.

    To the RSA/IDEA/MD5 combo, newer versions of PGP now add support for DSS and the DH algorithim in combination with CAST, 3DES or IDEA

    If you wish an explaination of the mathematics behind the original RSA/IDEA/MD5 combo, click here.

    Factoring large numbers is computationally difficult. Factoring a 129 digit number (approx. 426 bits) took many months and 1,600 computers and this only broke a SINGLE weak key made in the 70s. Factoring a 1024 bit number would take more than 10,000 times longer and a 2048 bit 1,000,000,000,000 times longer. Taking a discrete log is very similar to factoring and takes about the same time.


    A good discussion of key length sizes can be found here.

    Key sizes of 1024 to 2048 bits are used. Newer versions include the ability to handle RSA keys up to 8192 bits and the DH algorithim whose keys can be up to 4096 bits in length. Your messages will remain unbeakable for the foreseeable future.

    What about the built in encryption in MS-Word and WordPerfect? Sorry, these are easily broken by techniques known to a knowledgeable computer expert.

    Get PGP from the following site:

  • The International PGP Home Page

    PGP is free for non-commercial use. Commercial users in the US must purchase PGP from PGP Inc..

    Outside the US commercial users can use the freeware version. However they must purchase a license for the IDEA algorithm used in PGP from Ascom Systec AG. IDEA is used in combination with RSA to encrypt data for performance reasons.

    Here is a keyserver. You can use it to publicize you public key.

    LINUX

    Linux is a free version of UNIX. Its popularity has increased since its release. It is a multiuser, multitasking, networked Operating System that also supports multiple CPUs. It fully conforms to the X/Open and POSIX standardsand will run SCO UNIX and SVR4 programs unaltered. The X Window System is completely implemented so it is compatible with all X applications. An MS-DOS emulator is also available.

    Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, has recently released Linux 2.0.
