Re: [aclug-L] PGP--Meeting Topic

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I also have quite a bit of experience with PGP--I'd be happy to give a
presentation on that topic at some point.

One should also cover GPG and probably other encryption packages.  A
discussion of the legality of PGP and other encryptions (U.S.
Import/export laws, patents, etc) might be interesting.  Might also be
worth briefly describing how PGP, IDEA, DES, RC5, blowfish, etc, work.

Perhaps an encryption meeting in general, would be good, which could also
encompass ssh, ssl, secure web servers, etc...
