LOCK & KEY Windows 95 Explorer PGP Interface
Version 4.0, July 18, 1997

LOCK & KEY is the first and foremost PGP interface to the Windows 95
Explorer, specifically designed to support key Windows 95 features:
- Right-click on any file in Explorer to encrypt it.
- Double-click on any encrypted file to decrypt it.
- Decrypt files to QuickView/QuickView Plus if present.
- Encrypt/decrypt to/from the Windows clipboard.
- Preserve Windows 95 long file names when encrypting.

LOCK & KEY includes a number of features not found in the recently 
released PGP 5.0, including the option to decrypt files to QuickView,
or to launch or print decrypted files.  LOCK & KEY is also completely
compatible with RSA encryption (used in PGP 2.6.x).  Please visit our 
web site at http://www.voicenet.com/~wheindl/lock&key.htm for a 
comparison of LOCK & KEY and PGP 5.0.

LOCK & KEY supports most common PGP functions, extending many of them:
- Encrypt files as binary or armored.
- Include your public key when sending messages.
- Option to wipe original file after encryption.
- Sign files when encrypting.
- Choose a secret key for making signatures from a drop-down list.
- View signatures in Windows 95 when decrypting.
- View the public key ring and delete individual keys.
- Pick a recipient's public key from a drop-down list.
- Encrypt files to self.
- Use conventional or public key cryptography.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN VERSION 4.0:

- KEYCHAIN now includes a specially designed encrypted message editor.  
  If you have Eudora or Pegasus Mail installed, you can use this editor
  to compose an encrypted  message for delivery through the Internet 
  using Eudora or Pegasus Mail.  Unlike external programs and mail program 
  plug-ins, this editor contains features especially designed for sending 
  encrypted messages, including separate windows for cleartext and encrypted 
  portions of messages; signing the message with your electronic signature; 
  automatically appending your public key to messages; using the public 
  keyring itself as an address book; and simultaneously encrypting and 
  sending messages to named groups of recipients.

- LOCK & KEY now caches the list of keys in the public and secret keyrings, 
  updating the keyring caches whenever the contents of the keyrings change.  
  This allows the keyrings to be loaded instantly.

- LOCK & KEY now supports named groups of keys.  You can create and edit 
  groups of keys using KEYCHAIN.  Using LOCK32, you can encrypt a file for 
  all persons whose keys are included in the named key group.  Using KEYCHAIN, 
  you can compose and send an encrypted message to all persons in the key group.

- LOCK & KEY now supports detached signature certificates.  You can create a 
  detached signature certificate for a file using LOCK32; and can use KEY32 
  to verify that the signature certificate is valid; that is, that the sender 
  signed the file and that the file contents have not been altered.

- LOCK & KEY now reports bad signatures (altered file contents) as well as good 
  signatures.
