PRETTY GOOD PHONE PRIVACY, TOO
Now from the creator of PGP encryption software comes a new
product for making your phone calls more private. Philip
Zimmermann's PGPfone software scrambles phone calls made
through a computer modem using a complex algorithm called
Blowfish, which rearranges the digital version of your voice
conversation and then decodes it at the other end. The result
is an intelligible -- though not high-quality -- totally pri-
vate conversation.
