Hello,

I'm working on a story that mentions several encryption systems, and
I've heard that many companies often claim they have good products
when in fact they have the equivalent of snake oil. John Gilmore
suggested that I check in with the folks on this mailing list. I'd be
interested to hear if any of these companies/products have problems
that I, and Circuits readers, should be aware of. Here are the ones
that I have looked at for this story:

Freedom/Zero Knowledge Systems
PGP
Anonymizer.com
Hushmail/HushCom
ZipLip.com
PrivacyX (I'm aware of the security problem publicized in November with the
Web browser system)

Thanks in advance for your time.

Best regards,
Lisa Guernsey
