From: jkcohen () uci edu (Jonathan K. Cohen) Date: Wed, 08 Feb 1995 12:34:24 -0800 Organization: University of California, Irvine -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I am happy to announce that the UCI Bookstore will now accept orders sent using PGP. [ObPlug: The UCI Bookstore <URL:http://bookweb.cwis.uci.edu:8042/> is one of the premier bookstores doing business on the Net today, selling trade books, technical books, music and anime via email and the Web. (You can read a nice review of us at <URL:http://www.hotwired.com/Signal/Surf/>)] WHY? We think it's the right thing to do. Now, you can order from us and include credit card information in your email message with a high degree of security. Forms on our Web server are PGP-autoencrypted on the server side; when a non-proprietary standard for secure HTTP is established, form-based orders from our Web site will be as safe as PGP-based email. (Naturally, we use ViaCrypt PGP 2.7.) HOW? Get the UCI Bookstore's PGP public key 1024/E4324BBD 1995/01/12 UCI Bookstore Orders Desk <books () uci edu> and use it to encrypt orders sent to us at: books () uci edu The UCI Bookstore's public key is available in a variety of different ways: Web: <URL:http://bookweb.cwis.uci.edu:8042/Orders/pubkey.html> Finger: finger books () orion oac uci edu SLED: Send an email message to key () four11 com, the PGP keyserver at SLED (Stable Large Email Database) with books () uci edu in the body of the message. You can also use SLED to search for the Bookstore's listing and obtain the key from their Web server, <URL:http://www.four11.com/> Our PGP key is certified by SLED and by BETSI at Bellcore. At present, we're using PGP to receive orders only; when we enter more fully into the Web of Trust, we want to have the time and personnel to do it right. For more information on our PGP efforts, check out <URL:http://bookweb.cwis.uci.edu:8042/Orders/orders.html> I've HTMLized Michael Paul Johnson's abridged FAQ on where to get PGP, with his permission, and will do my best to keep up with his updates. It's at <URL:http://bookweb.cwis.uci.edu:8042/Orders/ubipgp.html> I'm glad that the Bookstore is finally going the PGP route; I hope you think it's a good service to offer. Sincerely, Jonathan For my personal PGP public key, with which this message is signed, send a message to key () four11 com with jkcohen () uci edu in the body. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.7 iQCVAwUBLzkqnqt+uHgnf1NnAQF/IwP6A0SxTOSJ6iyskh1p/p0UpoRpxlBWblF/ aPd4lPLCNaEfSlLFnPO2eowISQvf8G0MUpRAXSZ9m4kN2b7oguoaswEeVU1IbzMh WxpSXAMvT3JJrvO2OnC6Jc7kBRdwqvVHawb75vcD0z7WZbYHXzUFS4LHT4SaJIOl 9VJCcEcdQm8= =OKCW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Jonathan K.
