PGP 8.0 Beta Released

Posted by timothy on from the pretty-okay-news dept.

James Evans writes "With a release date seemingly scheduled in December, the new PGP Corporation has today released PGP 8.0 Beta. It features Smart Card functionality, Unicode support, Novell Groupwise support, among other things. A Mac OS X Beta is out as well, also with a robust feature set. One word of caution however: On Friday, December 6th, 2002, the beta will expire, at which time access to encrypted data will be prevented."

    ... they will ever develop "Really Good Privacy", PGP is just too M$'esque for my liking ;)

    PGP has two P's, GPG only has one. According to the Gartner Group, 83% of CIO's surveyed said that having 2 P's was vital to their business and something they would implement in the next 18 months. Seriously, though, PGP has a user interface that mere mortals can use. GPG doesn't (or at least didn't last time I tried it).
