Ladies, Gentlemen & Cryptographers,
I'm pleased to announce the imminent release of the premier issue of
the new "Zimmermann Telegram" newsletter. The Zimmermann Telegram will
be a regularly-published, paper-based, English-language technical
update newsletter from PGP's engineering staff, and will cover a
variety of cryptographic and other lighthearted topics which we may
otherwise be restricted from discussing via electronic media. The
newsletter will be sent, in compliance with US law, by regular postal
mail to anyone interested in technical information about PGP --
anywhere in the world.
If you are now developing PGP-related freeware, shareware, commercial or
academic cryptographic software, or you plan in future to become a
registered PGP Developer or PGP World Partner (those programs are currently
under construction and will be formally announced later) or if you are just
interested in technical information about cryptography, we think you'll
enjoy reading our newsletter.
In the premier issue, along with important updates regarding changes
to the PGP packet format, CRC security problems and new extensions to
the PGP key format which are not available through any other medium,
you'll learn about the significance of the "Zimmermann Telegram"
name. Meanwhile, visit this page:
<http://www.nara.gov/nara/digital/teaching/zimmermann/zimmerma.html>.
Scheduled to be mailed imminently, the premier issue will be sent free
to anyone who provides us with a postal mail address. After that,
regular subscriptions will require a modest fee (to be announced) to
cover our mailing costs, but we've committed to offering a limited
number of free one-year subscriptions to interested members of the
cryptography community. To request your free subscription, please
send email to me at:
<mailto:telegram...@pgp.com?subject=first_issue_free_subscription_req>
In the body of your request, please include the form below (items
between the cut-lines ONLY, and preferably PGP-signed), and replace
the lines with your complete postal mail address info as
indicated. We'll put an HTML subscription form on our website, but for
the premier issue, we're managing the subscription process via
email. Thank you for your patience as we deploy rapidly. :)
