- This is the public PGP key of Frans Veldman, developer of the TBAV utilities.
-
- PGP is a high security freeware "public key" cryptographic application,
- developed by Philip Zimmermann. When I used PGP, it generated two keys -
- the public one you will find below, and another one which is private to
- me. If you're wondering what you can do with my public key, please read
- on.
-
- -> Software ENcrypted with one key can only be DEcrypted with the other key.
-
- This means, if you encrypt a file with my public key, I am the only one
- who is able to decrypt it. Now you can safely send me viruses! If I
- provide you an encrypted CRC of all our files, you are able to decrypt
- and verify this CRC. Nobody else is able to encrypt something that you
- can decrypt with my public key. If you are able to decrypt a file with
- my key, you may rest assured that the file originated from me.
-
- By using PGP, you (the user) and I (the developer of TBAV) have a secure
- method of communicating with each other. No hacker can interfere, and
- you are able to verify that the TBAV files are unmodified, free of
- viruses, and originate from my system. You can also send me viruses,
- without the risk that the viruses may spread to the wrong people.
-
- THERE IS ONE RESTRICTION! You need to be ABSOLUTELY SURE that the public
- key, listed below, is mine. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you
- obtain this key DIRECTLY from me, or from a highly trusted source.
- Since the key will never change, you may want to make just one phone
- call to our Bulletin Board System - only once, for safety. Once you
- have a trusted key, you may download your TBAV upgrades from everywhere.
- Just check them with my private key, if the key matches, you have the
- original copy of TBAV. Otherwise, you'd better get a more reliable
- source...
-
- Download or file request VELDMAN.PGP from our support system!
- 2:280/200 + 31 - 59 - 182 011
-
-
- What do you need to do? You need the PGP program, which is available on
- many BBSs, including our Thunderbyte support BBS. (F'req PGP)
-
- Assuming that you have installed and configured PGP properly, use the
- following command and answer the questions:
- PGP -KA VELDMAN.PGP
-
- You need to do this only once. (There is no need to separate the key
- listed below from this message).
-
- 1) If we want you to be able to verify that a file originated from us,
- I will supply a PGP signature created with my private key. (A PGP
- signature is a type of CRC derived from the file, encrypted with
- a private key). All you need to do is to invoke the command below:
- PGP <FILENAME>
-
- For instance, we will put an Anti-Vir.Dat file in the TBAV archive,
- and a text file SECURITY.DOC which contains the PGP signature.
- If you download the TBAV archive, first check with PGP whether this
- Anti-Vir.Dat file is original:
- PGP SECURITY.DOC
-
- PGP will now ask the name of the file to which SECURITY.DOC belongs.
- Type:
- ANTI-VIR.DAT
-
- PGP will now tell you whether this ANTI-VIR.DAT file was created by
- me and unmodified. If it has found to be reliable, you can now use
- TbScan to find out if the TBAV utilities do match the ANTI-VIR.DAT
- records. If this is also true, you are sure you have the original
- TBAV files!
-
- 2) If you want to send us an encrypted file, invoke the command below:
- PGP -E <FILENAME> "Frans Veldman"
-
- PGP will create a file with the same name as the original file, but
- with the extension '.PGP'. You can safely send me that file, I'm
- the only one who is able to decrypt it.
