RE: Riled whom?

Comment comment by VnutZ on 29 May 2006

The government had control over the RSA algorithm. Phil upset the government because his encryption scheme went international, to the chagrin of the NSA. Essentially, the export laws did allow strong encryption to leave our soil. The loophole was that source code was allowed to be exported in the form of book text - so when PGP was put into a book that went overseas, the algorithm was out. Hence, the site http://www.pgpi.com, while no longer active was where the functional equivalent to all US PGP implementations were available to the world.
