Q5. Get the latest PGP software from http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp.html; install it on 2 machines and encrypt a message on one machine and decrypt it on the other. Report your findings.

Answer:

I have tried to download the PGP software from http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp.html. However, the website shows "MIT No Longer Distributes PGP". See Diagram-75 - Unable to get PGP from MIT. After that, I have downloaded freeware PGP from http://www.pgpi.org/products/pgp/versions/freeware/ and test the PGP software. The PGP I found is not suitable to simply encrypt and decrypt message. Therefore, this question cannot be answered unless the correct PGP software is offered.

Diagram-75 - PGP software is not available in MIT
