PGP
PGP (Pretty Good Privacy),
originally developed by Phil Zimmerman,
is a high security cryptographic software
application for MSDOS, UNIX, VAX/VMS, and other computers. PGP allows
people to exchange files or messages with privacy, authentication, and
convenience.

NOTE:
You must agree to the PGP 5.0 License
before installing this version of PGP on your Virtual Server.
This version of PGP is for non-commercial use only. If you are going to
use PGP for commercial use, you must purchase a license from
Network Associates.
This version of PGP has also been modified
so that it will work in both the virtual and non-virtual environments.
Modifications have also been made to the PGP executable provided
such that it will only run on our Virtual Servers. Please
do not attempt to export this version off of your Virtual Server.
It will not work.
An alternative to PGP is GnuPG, which
has less restrictive license requirements.

Installation
Do the following, depending on your Virtual Server O/S.
-
FreeBSD & Solaris PGP 5.0
Connect to your Virtual Server via
Telnet or SSH and issue these commands:
% vinstall pgp
% rehash
-
BSD/OS Upgrade! PGP 5.0
Connect to your Virtual Server via
Telnet or SSH and issue this command:
% /usr/local/contrib/pgp5-install
% rehash
You must now contact our Support Staff
and have them help you complete the installation.

Huh?
If you don't know the Virtual Server O/S, try the following:
Implementation
To generate your own public/secret key pair:
% pgpk -g
Or if you already have a public/secret key pair, you will want
to add your existing keys to your Virtual Server's key ring:
% pgpk -a [keyfile]
To add PGP to your CGI's do something like the following:
... | pgpe -r <userid> -a -f | mail -s "Encrypted Mail" ...
Another option is the PGP version of FormMail,
PGP FormMail.
Documentation
PGP is very well documented and thus very easy to use if you do your
homework. All questions sent to the Support Staff with regard to
PGP usage will be answered with the URL of this page.
The following PGP 2.6.2 documenation is provided for reference value.
