GNUPG - The GNU Privacy Guard

-------------------------------

Version 0.3
|
||||
|
||||
THIS IS ALPHA SOFTWARE, YOU MAY ENCOUNTER SOME BUGS.
|
||||
|
||||
As you can see from the version number, the program may have some
|
||||
bugs and some features may not work at all - please report this to
|
||||
the mailing list.
|
||||
|
||||
On a Linux box (version 2.x.x, alpha or x86 CPU) it should
|
||||
work reliably. You may create your key on such a machine and

Due to the fact that GNUPG does not use use any patented algorithm,
|
||||
it cannot be compatible with old PGP versions, because those use
|
||||
IDEA (which is patented worldwide) and RSA (which is patented in
|
||||
the United States until Sep 20, 2000). I'm sorry about this, but
|
||||
this is the world we have created (e.g. by using proprietary software).
|
||||
the United States until Sep 20, 2000).
|
||||
|
||||
Because the OpenPGP standard is still a draft, GNUPG now interoperates
|
||||
with it and PGP 5. The MUA Mutt will soon support GNUPG; it has a
|
||||
mode to fallback to another program if the received message has been
|
||||
created with RSA or IDEA.
|
||||
GNUPG is in most aspects compatible with other OpenPGP implementations.
|
||||
|
||||
The default algorithms used by GNUPG are ElGamal for public-key
|
||||
encryption and signing; Blowfish with a 128 bit key for protecting
|
||||
the secret-key components, conventional and session encryption;
|
||||
RIPE MD-160 to create message digest. DSA, SHA-1, CAST and TIGER are
|
||||
also implemented, but not used by default. I decided not
|
||||
to use DSA as the default signing algorithm, because it allows only
|
||||
for 1024 bit keys and this may not be enough in a couple of years.
|
||||
The default algorithms are now DSA and ELGamal. ELGamal for signing
|
||||
is still available, but due to the larger size of such signatures it
|
||||
is depreciated (Please note that the GNUPG implementation of ElGamal
|
||||
signatures is *not* insecure). Symmetric algorithms are: Blowfish
|
||||
and CAST5, Digest algorithms are MD5, RIPEMD160, SHA1 and TIGER/192.

This is work in progress, so you may find duplicated code fragments,
|
||||
ugly data structures, weird usage of filenames and other things.
|
||||
I will run "indent" over the source when making a real distribution,
|
||||
but for now I stick to my own formatting rules.
