re the secret source of that announcement in article apr cs aukuni ac nz pgut cs aukuni ac nz peter gutmann writes something similar has happened to me ages ago when we were working on pgp we used to send short messages about development issues or simply to test new features around now at this time pgp and certainly the newer version was unknown over here suddenly the admin at the site i was using received a request that i stop sending encrypted email now there is almost no way that some automatic scanner could have found this since they wouldn t have known about pgp they must have checked for unknown data types in the message tried to unscramble it found they couldn t get past the pem armour part and then contacted the sysadmin and asked me to stop luckily the current email carriers are less picky about what goes over their networks is the sending of encrypted traffic without government permission legal in new zealand david david sternlight great care has been taken to ensure the accuracy of our information errors and omissions excepted
