This is a bad thing, but it's going to > happen. Uh, well, no. PGP is perfectly legal. It is distributed from an overseas company, now, anyway, and the patents with RSA have been worked out. Remember, there is *absolutely nothing* wrong with using PGP in the USA; only perhaps in exporting it. Ardi has nothing to worry about using it: pgp is perfectly legal for US companies to use! And ardi certainly wouldn't be in the position of exporting it: it would just be using it to decrypt credit card info. Today, PGP is perfectly legal for overseas use, as well, as it is currently distributed from outside the USA, and *imported* rather than the other way around. I'd hate for adi to be scared away from using PGP. It is currently the *only* product that can relaly provide ardi with the credit card security it'll need for electronic commerce. The secure HTTP implementations are running into legal trouble as well, and they're quite expensive. --Scott (sorry for posting such a non-executor thread.) @ @ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-oOO-(_)-OOo-=-=-=-=-= C.
