15 PGP is free software and can be found on the Internet. At the time of this writing, the current version is 5.5.2 and it is available for most operating systems. Because of U.S. laws concerning the export of cryptographic technology, there are domestic and international versions available, so you should be sure to get the right version for your use. The MIT distribution site for PGP is located at http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp.html. You can download the international version of PGP at http://www.pgpi.com.
