PGP contains algorithms (mathematical formulas) that are export-restricted by the arms-control regualtions of the USA. There is, however, an international version that is almost as good, and both versions work with each other. Use these links showing you where to download PGP. I used MIT. You TELNET to MIT, they will confirm that your domain-name (your ISP) is inside the US, and give you a directory name where you can go to for the next 30 minutes (got to hurry) to FTP download the PGP262.ZIP file. First you have to answer questions and certify that you have read the licensing agreements and will not export it. I assume the links to the international versions are not as complex. Here is some quoted text for further information:
Telnet to net-dist.mit.edu and log in as "getpgp".
You will then be
given a short statement about the regulations concerning the export of
cryptographic software, and be given a series of yes/no questions to
answer. If you answer correctly to the questions (they consist mostly
of agreements to the RSADSI and MIT licenses and questions about
whether you intend to export PGP), you will be given a special
directory name in which to find the PGP code. At that point, you can
FTP to net-dist.mit.edu, change to that directory, and access the
software. You may be denied access to the directories even if you
answer the questions correctly if the MIT site cannot verify that your
site does in fact reside in the USA.
An easier method of getting to the PGP software is now available on
the World Wide Web at the following location:
Another perfectly good international version (2.6UI), plus a lot of good
PGP information, is available from:
