- RIPEM is a package for encrypted electronic mail using RSA public-key
- cryptography (mostly) in compliance with the PEM RFCs. It is scheduled
- for release shortly.
-
- There already exists a newsgroup alt.security.pgp for PGP, another
- popular program for public-key email. Thus, I believe the name
- alt.security.ripem is best, to remain consistent with this scheme.
-
- Pre-release discussion of RIPEM, scripts for interfacing with it, and
- the like have already occurred on existing cryptography and security
- newsgroups, and will doubtless increase substantially with its actual
- release. A RIPEM newsgroup would keep such discussion centralized and
- allow other groups (e.g. sci.crypt) to remain on a more abstract level.
-
- I propose that alt.security.ripem be created as soon as RIPEM is
- released, which should be quite soon.
