Security


PGP by Phil Zimmerman

Version 6.0 Size 5.53 Mb Freeware For security on the Internet, this is a must. Various front ends available to make it easy to use, but all require that you get a copy of PGP first. This allows public key encryption of files and e-mail. I suggest Scytale as a front end so that you don't have to know the inner workings of PGP. There are many articles available which give you plenty of reason to think about encrypting your Internet messages. Even though you are doing nothing wrong or illegal, you have a right to privacy and if you don't encrypt, trust me, your messages are NOT private. Home Page

Scytale 32

Version 1.5 Official Release Size 596 Kb Freeware Terrific front end for using PGP. All the commands you need are here in a handy Windows version. This is the new release as of 1/04/99 and the one you must get. This version has many new features added. To save keystrokes, the program now remembers some of the last input you provided such as who to encrypt to, your password can be remembered to save retyping, and there is a macro facility to make it really automatic when you use it with any program that will accept macro commands. With this macro feature the program action takes place without even bringing the program menu up, and then shuts itself down automatically after completion. This makes for a very seamless interface to such things as mail programs. The key management features are terrific and you really don't need to know how to work the DOS based PGP program at all. Also available, a 16 bit version Here.Also Scytale Home Page
