Unlike PGP 2, which was an exclusively command line program, PGP 3 was designed from the start as a software library allowing users to work from a command line or inside a GUI environment. The original agreement between Viacrypt and the Zimmermann team had been that Viacrypt would have even-numbered versions and Zimmermann odd-numbered versions.
A separate key server, known as the PGP Certificate Server, was developed by PGP, Inc. and was used as the software (through version 2.5.x for the server) for the default key server in PGP through version 8.x (for the client software), keyserver.pgp.com. Network Associates was granted a patent co-authored by Jon Callas (United States Patent 6336186) [3] on the key server concept.
Obtaining the PGP/GPG key of an author (or developer, publisher, etc.) from a public key server also presents risks, since the key server is a third-party middle-man, itself vulnerable to abuse or attacks. To avoid this risk, an author can instead choose to publish their public key on their own key server (i.e., a web server accessible through ...
The investigation lasted three years, but was finally dropped without filing charges after MIT Press published the source code of PGP. [6] In 1995, Zimmermann published the book PGP Source Code and Internals as a way to bypass limitations on exporting digital code. Zimmermann's introduction says the book contains "all of the C source code to a ...
Cheat Engine (CE) is a proprietary, closed source [5] [6] memory scanner/debugger created by Eric Heijnen ("Byte, Darke") for the Windows operating system in 2000. [7] [8] Cheat Engine is mostly used for cheating in computer games and is sometimes modified and recompiled to support new games.
In PGP, normal users can issue certificates to each other, forming a web of trust, and fingerprints are often used to assist in this process (e.g., at key-signing parties). In systems such as CGA or SFS and most cryptographic peer-to-peer networks , fingerprints are embedded into pre-existing address and name formats (such as IPv6 addresses ...
The Konami Code. The Konami Code (Japanese: コナミコマンド, Konami Komando, "Konami command"), also commonly referred to as the Contra Code and sometimes the 30 Lives Code, is a cheat code that appears in many Konami video games, [1] as well as some non-Konami games.
The original creation of Gpg4win was initiated and funded by Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) in 2005, [3] [4] resulting in the release of Gpg4win 1.0.0 on 6 April 2006; [5] however Gpg4win and all included tools are free and open source software, and it is typically the non-proprietary option for privacy recommended [6] [7] to Windows users.
