You've benn very kind to remark it because there are too many people who completely trust this technology. -----Messaggio originale----- Da: adrian.pauling at bt.com [mailto:adrian.pauling at bt.com] Inviato: luned? 26 giugno 2000 18.27 A: lir-wg at ripe.net; dbm-ripe at ripe.net Cc: kevin.bates at bt.com Oggetto: PGP 5 CERT Advisory Are RIPE Community aware of the CERT Advisory regarding PGP version 5 for UNIX? http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2000-09.html Regards, Adrian F Pauling :-)NEL2C Internet Protocol Manager acd Information Systems Engineering Technical Architecture AFP1-RIPE / AFP-ARIN / AFP25-InterNIC * adrian.pauling at bt.com * +44 19 2685 1992 / +44 78 0290 4877 British Telecommunications plc Registered Office 81 Newgate Street London EC1A 7AJ Registered in England no 1800000 From woeber at cc.univie.ac.at Tue Jun 27 11:28:12 2000 From: woeber at cc.univie.ac.at (Wilfried Woeber, UniVie/ACOnet) Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2000 11:28:12 +0200 Subject: PGP 5 CERT Advisory Message-ID: <009EC3B3.3DEB29B0.7@cc.univie.ac.at> Adrian, actually an alert was already circulated by the RIPE NCC on Fri, 16 Jun 2000 15:32:58 +0200. But you do have a point in that the warning was only sent to the DB-WG list. Touching on Alessandro's point, I'd be *really* interested to find out about the "hit-rate" in our community. I.e. how many of us (if anyone at all) were satisfying the criteria to end up with a potentially vulnerable key! Wilfried. PS: on the GnuPG pages, there is interesting information wrt the randomness issue ( http://www.gnupg.org/download.html --> see EGD ) _________________________________:_____________________________________ Wilfried Woeber : e-mail: Woeber at CC.UniVie.ac.at UniVie Computer Center - ACOnet : Tel: +43 1 4277 - 140 33 Universitaetsstrasse 7 : Fax: +43 1 4277 - 9 140 A-1010 Vienna, Austria, Europe : RIPE-DB: WW144, PGP keyID 0xF0ACB369 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
