The Sheriff (sheriff@speakeasy.org)
Tue, 7 Apr 1998 09:43:26 -0400

Something I have never seen discussed (probably because I've only
been on the scene for a couple of years) is the strengths and weak-
nesses of PGP's design, at the code level. I've seen mention of
the weaknesses behind DES, but I would be interested in some URLs
that would point me to the code-level weaknesses behind PGP design.

I'm familliar with the basic logistic weaknesses behind PGP (security
of secret keys and passphrases and the like), but I'm interested
in what weaknesses (if any) the PGP algorythm has.

Thanks in advance!

Best wishes and fresh-roasted peanut taste,
The Sheriff. -- ***<REPLY TO: sheriff@speakeasy.org>***

As kinky as this sounds, finger sheriff@speakeasy.org
for my RSA PGP public key and my ICQ UIN.  If you don't
know what a UIN is, head on over to http://www.icq.com :)

Comments: I was stewing about cliques when the rhyming
          bug bit.

          Watch them gather,
          watch them play.
          Watch the mailman
          blow them away.
