[net.general] Net Mail Encryption

tracy (01/13/83)

Since mail traffic can pass through several machines, and since I am
paranoid about some of the things I gossip about with friends, I have
written a program to encrypt/decrypt mail (Or any text).  It has a
facility for mixing encrypted and unencrypted text in the same message.

The program is designed to prevent routine eavesdropping.  Both parties
exchanging mail can use it with a common key.  (It is not a public key
cryptosystem.)  I have posted the source and a manual page to net.sources.
