Network Associates announced PGP 6.5 today. It includes a new product
PGPnet which is a full IKE/IPSec client implementation. This product
is for Windows and Macintosh. I just wanted to send a brief note to
this list that the product was compatibility tested with FreeSWAN
prior to its release, and the tests were successful!
Freeware versions of PGPnet for non-commercial use should be available
by the end of the quarter. Only the commercial Windows NT version is
available today. 95/98/Mac will be available by the end of the
quarter.
PGPnet is the first IKE product to support authentication with OpenPGP
keys. It also supports X.509 certs from VeriSign, NetTools, and
Entrust. The FreeSWAN interop test was obviously done using Shared
Secret.
Full source code will of course be made available after we finish all
the builds. If you'd like more information, we had a lot of press
releases today, and our website has some information although it is
still partially being updated.
