Greetings,
The only way for E-Mail Privacy on the internet is -
ENCRYPTION. You don"t have to be an Internet Expert to
understand that data which is not encrypted is open for every
one.
On Oct. 20 1995 Andy Jonson-Laird <andy@jli.com> sent a most
interesting data to the list concerning that the user has
absulutly no control ever how the data is routed. A Mail that
he sent to an address which is at the distance of 11 miles
actualy did 1200 miles.
It may be " The end of days vision" that privacy will be
maintained without encryption. With the ongoing danger from the
Cypherpunks, we must use very strong Algorithms. A French
"algorithms cracker" recommended not long ago that the
commercial sector have to use not less than 128 bytes based
algorithms.
I will appreciate to receive list members opinion.
