Long ago I had a secret security clearance. The secrets were laughable, but I have never disclosed them. Mine had nothing to do with encryption. When getting the clearance, I had to read some of the laws that pertained. In addition to jail and fines, another punishment option was death. But I imagine it would be done officially. > > The approach you mention would be probably used on someone who would like to > play the game (as in sell the info to another country), not for some random > blabberer. > > Alex - -- .~.

GPGee development restarted - need bugs
After almost two years of neglect, I've got time enough to start working on GPGee again. I was informed some time ago that work is underway to replace it. I don't see a replacement yet, so I'm going to put out a release that fixes some bugs and incorporates a French translation I was given. This can act as a stop-gap until the replacement is completed. If the replacement is going to be some time yet, I'll also entertain requests for new features. Bugs I've fixed so far include: - Disappearing keys (requires GnuPG >= 1.4 to fix) - Verifications of signatures made with expired subkeys not showing the correct expiry date of the subkey and giving incorrect warnings of signatures being made after the key expired - Password requests not showing correct data (type & size) for the subkey identified - SHA224 signatures not being correctly identified If you are still using GPGee (or want to) and have experienced bugs not mentioned above, please respond here, on a thread I've made in the GPGee forums (http://www.excelcia.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=1), or by personal e-mail to me. I apologize for any previous e-mails that haven't been replied to.

He has never backed off from either of two claims: 1. Twofish is a secure cipher that would have made an excellent AES. 2. People should use AES for symmetric crypto needs. He has said #1 many times and keeps a page on his site devoted to the most recent research into Twofish. He has said #2 many times, particularly in his book _Practical Cryptography_. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
