I just read about a software company planning to release a very sophisticated form of encryption program based on the RSA public key algorithm. With a list price of $199, I wonder how many curious people will be buying it. I can see little A500's sitting there in the basements of U.S. embassies, as coded messages are de-crypted nad encrypted <grin>. The same company will be selling a encryption program modelled on the old WW II enigma encryption machine for a much smaller price. How far we've come from having MaxiComm as the only commercial program available. Just think what the future holds… -RSL-
