Others have had made good use of symmetric encryption with OpenPGP (the CAST5 cipher seems most interoperable). New symmetric keys are distributed twice per year, using the participants OpenPGP public keys. (There are also various implementations of reencrypting mailing lists, but they cannot ensure end-to-end encryption.) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
