Don't know why you've posted only to 'alt.lang.asm' so I've added
applicable groups.

Yawn

The algorithm used in PGP was not developed by Zimmerman,
and he modestly titled the product Pretty Good, having enough
understanding of the topic to know.

PGP is not designed for password encryption, but as a means
of secure messaging. Until I find a website called pgpbuster.com
where you can enter a message and its decoded within 10 mins then
it remains a good product.
