PGP will 'always' give out a non-commercial free personal version, without all the extra's. So you have to cut/paste for the functionality you normal have in outlook etc.
I was also wondering if there have been any advances in the field of cryptology. I was reading the book crypto from Levy, (which is a very cool book if you are interested in the history of encryption and how the US goverment tried to keep it all to them selves). It just seems to me that encryption has been standing still now for a couple of years. And that more and more things in our lives involve digital communication, I was wondering why encryption hadn't made it way into those things yet.
Why isn't my cellphone encrypted? Anyone who steels it and read my messages, agenda and view my pictures.
Why isn't aren't my msn messenger conversations encrypted?
Is it just because we don't want it? Or is it because companies and goverments rather see plain text on the wire?

I used PGP Freeware app earlier. But I think that Mcaffe bought that
program and now it's shareware I think. Anyone else know anything
about this program? I liked it alot but I didn't really understand
what the heck happened to it.
regards
