Key to Heaven's Gate
For those not familiar, PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is a free,
widely accepted means of secure communication across the Internet. Its
heart is the RSA encryption algorithm which is also the heart of Verisign
(a commercial encryptor that is getting a lot of publicity of late). The
purpose of this page is not to get you up and running on PGP or even foster
conversations about secure communication. We have set up this page to:
-
Provide our public key so those who are already familiar
with PGP can securely communicate with us.
-
Provide a list of available PGP resources for those who
want to securely communicate with us but don't know where to start.
Beginners might want to examine Beginner's
Guide to Pretty Good Privacy. Those wanting PGP might examine this
list of where to get the Pretty Good Privacy program
or get PGP directly from MIT.
A relatively simple secure email to set up using PGP is David
Harris' Pegasus with John
Navas' encryptor interface for windows.
Public Key
The rep key is our public
key. You can use it for private communications to us that you would rather
others not read.
To extract our key from this document, either use the source
of this page as input for PGP, or copy the contents of this page to the
clipboard. Of course, if all else fails, you can always type it in. Note:
some browsers insert blank lines between all lines in the page when you
use "Save to disk", so you may have to do some editing if it doesn't work
right away.

FAQs and reference material
PGP is the most widely used secure communications around
today. There are a great many misconceptions out there about how vulnerable
Pretty Good Privacy is to being decrypted. A PGP
FAQ is available to shed some light on the subject. It is not an introduction
to PGP or cryptography. If you are not at least conversationally versed
in either topic, readers are directed to The
Infinity Concept issue 1, and the sci.crypt
FAQ. Both documents are available via ftp from infonexus.com. Help
with PGP problems is available from the PGP
Help Team.

from a US source may be a violation of ITAR
restrictions, punishable by a fine of up to $1,000,000 and 10 years in
