We all know and love Al Gore for his global warming scam, but I used to work for him on another of his shady activities. He had a couple of projects going on as Vice-President to require hardware encryption in all electronics, which would give NSA direct access to all electronic communications in the US.
The first one “Clipper” got killed off by public outrage and the second got killed by the release of PGP software encryption. But have no fear, I’m sure that NSA has a back door into PGP and its derivatives.
Steve, Matt Drudge just put you on the front page again….

Thanks, Steven, for information about Mr. Gore’s background. We all have to earn a living.
As a Principal Investigator for NASA’s Apollo Program, I was surprised that NASA decided in 1995 to hide experimental data from the Galileo probe of Jupiter that would confirm findings from 1969 Apollo Mission to the Moon:
The core of the Sun is a pulsar; Its mantle is made of iron (Fe); It generates and discards hydrogen (H) as a waste product – just like all other ordinary stars .

PGP has been open source from day one and thoroughly vetted by the most paranoid libertarian programmers. Alas it did not become part of everybody’s operating system, since the “cypherpunks” degenerated into flame wars, exclusive little smart boy clubs and über nerdy underground networks.

NikFromNYC,
except you still have to worry about how you generate your keys and, of course, protecting your keys.
Even then, it appears the NSA and friends have figured out a partial Brute Force method combined with large data bases and supercomputers that will make PGP only good against everyone else.
