- Don't need to buy it: you can get PGP which is an excellent RSA
- implementation for free from a whole host of sites. You can even ftp it
- from the US if you like :-)
-
- Oh dear. PGP _includes_ RSA, as is pointed out in the documents. Also
- *in the documents* is the fact that anyone using it in the states
- would be infringing the RSA patent. Further, it states that it should
- not be distributed inside the states, and that the encryption code was
- written in Europe.
-
- Also pointed out, is that not all of the message is encrypted with
- RSA, if I remember correctly, because that would take too long.
-
- Now about this real-time business...

- James.
