NODE 143ac3c0wanted dead or alive: pgp5.5 key pair
Adam Back <aba@dcs.ex.ac.uk>Wed, 22 Oct 1997 08:07:42 +0800
Could some kind soul who has downloaded pgp5.5 for business (I think
it is available in the US from www.pgp.com) create a key with a CMR
key extension.
I guess this means generating two keys:
XYZ Corp recovery key <snoopy@xyz.com>
and then:
XYZ Corp Sales <sales@xyz.com>
with the sales person's key set up to have a strict requirement to
encrypt to the XYZ "message recovery" key.
Could this kind soul then mail me, (or post here I guess would be even
more useful) both the private and public keys of both of them.
Enciphering minds want to find out how pgp5.0 reacts to this key :-)
(The question is really does pgp5.0 encrypt to the CMR key).
(btw for the curious as to why my previous message was had a date of
22nd Feb ... I had to set my clock back to get pgp5.0 beta to function
as the one I have had expired, and I forgot to set the clock forward
again).

Why not just try to send a message to "phil@pgp.com"?
Surely PGP, Inc. is itself using its own product?
(I know if I were Jon Seybold and I had a radical"No nukes" nut like Phil
on my staff, :-), I'd want to monitor what he was saying to people and what
they were saying to him.)

Just returned from the source ... PGP 5.0 does encrypt to every so called
'message recovery key' mentioned in the public key self certificate option
if it is marked required or optional. If a key is missing, it fails encryting.
IIRC it does work on unhashed uncritical signature packets, too.
