P.G.P. 6.5.8 CKT 64 Bit

Version 6.5.8 freeware (NAI) included native email plug-ins for Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape and Eudora. For other clients like Pegasus Mail or Bat!, free plug-ins were available from third parties. This version also included a Virtual Private Network (VPN) plugin. However, NAIs 6.5.8 was pre-XP and is no longer widely used.

After version 6.5.8, NAI decided to discontinue the practice of releasing the source code. Zimmermann, who had been a consultant for NAI, left their employ over the disagreement. Version 7.x was unpopular and PGP languished. During this period, unaffiliated programmer Imad Faiad took it upon himself to use the source code from various 6.x releases to further develop the software on his own. The result was the successful, albeit controversial, version "6.5.8 CKT."

That said, version 6.5.8 CKT remains widely used and many prefer it to official versions for the enhancements Faiad added. Upside: XP-compatible, with email plug-ins included for Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora and Netscape; VPN plug-in included, with fixed digital signing bug; PGP Disk included along with other enhanced features including support for very large keys. Downside: Some people believe it unwise to support an unofficial version. Availability: Archival websites.

The program looks very much like an updated 6.5.8, but native email plug-ins are not functional without buying a license and a VPN plug-in is not included. PGP Disk has been replaced by PGP Whole Disk, available in licensed versions only. Free third-party plug-ins can be used with non-Microsoft email clients and there are freeware alternatives to PGP Disk for encrypting volumes and drives. Version 8.1 appears to be the most popular freeware Version as of mid-2005. Upside: Great look, feature enhancements, XP-compatible. Downside: Native email plug-ins are no longer free, though free third-party plug-ins can be found for virtually all popular (non-Microsoft) email clients. Availability: Unofficial archival websites.

• I would like to second that. A GnuPG based software is state of the security art today but don't forget to really care about the security of your private key with a really strong passphrase. anon990592 April 29, 2015 I dont believe so far that the NSA has a key to GnuPG so I would go for a GnuPG based software today. anon952299 May 20, 2014 "Is there a version of PGP that will work with Windows 8?"Do you need only PGP or a plug-in? For Outlook you should checkout gpg4o!It supports all Outlooks 2010/13 with 32/64 bit on all Windows - even Win 8.1! anon343873 August 3, 2013 Is there a version of PGP that will work with Windows 8? Symantec's does not and I cannot find any PGP that will. Does anyone know if there is a version that works with Win 8? anon340183 July 1, 2013 So, there is no secure, uncompromised PGP now? The NSA has a key to everything? anon339715 June 26, 2013 You forgot to mention about NSA backholes in all versions of PGP released after Imad's software. You also didn't mention that those backholes were the reason for NAI to be forced by the government to sell PGP rights to the PGP Corporation, for Zimmerman to talk to others about that backholes and leave the project during that time, and for Imad to stop all new releases, close his site and all workgroups, and remove all original PGP 6.5.8 CKT from every host around the internet.
