That material's not going away.
And, in addition, I
have some nicely short, not
difficult to read, source code.
About all the math needed for
PGP is in an elementary number
theory book -- I have several
sufficient references.
> That cat is out of the bag;
you can't legislate it back in.
Did you mean "The toothpaste
is out of the tube"? -- supposedly
the phrase used in the Nixon
Watergate scandal!
When Zimmerman made PGP public,
he also gave what I thought
was a good description of the
issues with the bottom line,
whatever the pros and cons,
net in plenty of cases
it's important for
individuals to have access
to strong encryption.
Yes, no doubt there's no
shortage of people in government
who don't like PGP. I'll send
some people in government
some toothpaste and an
empty tube and let them
try their hand!
