Someone asked about the book I am writing. Title is Digital Privacy, a self defense manual written for people who know how to turn a computer on if someone shows them where the power switch is. In addition to cryptography, it covers anti-theft products and measures one can use, van Eck transient radiation interception, and computer hacking. It will be printed in the next few weeks. Someone suggested that I have "sold out to RSADS" because I have recommended MailSafe as the most user friendly program available for non programmers and engineers to use to secure their files. Not true. Like I said, this book is for the "average" user. I have concluded that using RSA keys longer than 200 digits and triple encrypting the DES (360 bit keyspace?) are totally unnecessary for the average person and small business owner. I believe that MailSafe provides more than enough security. Finally, thank you to all who have provided useful information. I am very grateful.
