(somewhat lengthy due to "inline attachments")
Based on the recent (and repeated) questions regarding
encryption software for the HPe3000, I have a non-technical
as well as a technical question...
The non-technical first.
If I had a rough prototype (quick and dirty hack of the 1.0.3
sources from www.gnupg.org) of the GNU Privacy Guard software
that runs on MPE/iX, could I share source code diffs/patches
or precompiled binaries with other people?
As far as I understand, gnupg.org does not use algorithms that
have patent restrictions, is distributed under GNU GPL licensing
model, and resides outside the US (in Germany, like me). Unlike
Pretty Good Privacy, there is no "non-commercial-use-only" tag.
So it seems, I could give away the source diffs by eMail or via
some web site outside the US (to avoid the US export issues) and
not end up in the "I wanted to be a programmer, but ended up in
jail" thread ;-)
I am not a lawyer, though. Any (opposing) opinions on the above?
And now for the technical question.
If I wanted to test my quick and dirty prototype (which is still
somewhat rough, but seems to work ok so far) by exchanging a few
messages with someone who uses either gnupg or pgp on whatever
platform, would there be someone willing to help? I'm thinking
of something like exchanging a couple of signed and/or encrypted
files or messages to see, if it works properly...
I have created a keypair for testing, public key attached below,
as well as a message signed with that key. I'd be interested to
receive a file encrypted with that public key, to see if it can
be decrypted with my private key. I'd also be interested to send
an encrypted file to someone, given his or her public key.
Any opinions or takers on this part?
Thanks for feedback on both, the non-technical and technical part!
Lars (only speaking for myself here)
