Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Off Topic: PGP
Hi Beth,
Contrary to popular belief, open source software is usually considered _much_ more secure than the non-freeware, especially when it comes to encryption. Most of the most secure encryption algorithms are free and public, thus their strength derives from mathematical proofs and not from obscurity.
If what you are looking for is commercial support for whatever software you choose, commercial support for GnuPG is available via a company founded by one of the original authors, http://www.g10code.com/.
Nonetheless, there is a list of all current openpgp members available here: http://www.openpgp.org/. Some sell commercial products that you may be more comfortable with. I continue to recommend GnuPG! :-)
Best regards,
Paul

Ok, I did a little more research and I still need help. Our vendor would prefer we not use a freeware version, which I can understand. So I went out to pgp.com, which used to be Network Associates and is now McAfee. I tried to find a sinmple PGP product that I can use to encrypt my one file, once a month. The only think that I can find that will let you do encryption is the McAfee EBusiness Server which is $12K.
Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a commercially available, simple, command-line driven pgp utility?
TIA again,
Beth

Hello,
Use GPG... is a pgp clone but GNU software so no crummy licenses.
www.gnupg.org.

NT freeware can be found at:
http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp.html
But be warned--I've heard some horror stories about the NT install. I've never had problems myself, but know of cases where machines have been rendered inoperable...

Does anyone know of any good PGP implementations for WinNt or Openvms?
Are there any free ones?
TIA,
Beth
