Electronic Frontiers Houston
presents a
Free Cryptography Workshop:
How to use Pretty Good Privacy
(PGP)
presented by Paul Elliott
14 January 1995 3PM
It has become apparent that the data super highway is not safe. Messages
traveling the data highway can be hijacked by sinister data interlopers.
After six months of unpaid labor, in June, 1991 Philip Zimmermann
released his controversial freeware program Pretty Good Privacy (PGP).
Just as Prometheus' liver was eternally chewed by eagles for the crime
of bringing fire to mankind, Philip Zimmermann's liver is now being
chewed by the Federal Eagle (The U.S. Custom Service) for the alleged
crime of releasing strong cryptography to the world.
As a result of Philip Zimmermann's contribution, you can use the widely
available freeware program PGP to send electronic-mail messages to
anyone in the world, in complete privacy! In addition you can send
authentication with your messages so that the recipient can verify that
the message really came from you. You can encrypt sensitive files on
your computer so that the files remain private even if your computer and
disks are stolen.
In this free workshop, our presenter Paul Elliott will show you how you
can use PGP effectively, easily, and intelligently. PGP is available for
most popular computers and Operating Systems, including MSDOS, UNIX, MAC
and OS/2 among many others.
The Workshop will take place at on January 14, at 3:00 PM at the
offices of South Coast Computing located at 1811 Bering, Suite 100. Park
in the garage, and ignore the "contract only" sign. Enter through the
back door (adjacent to the garage) and use the house phone (dial 100) if
the door is locked.
