Btw, does PGP support triple wrapping to prevent surreptitious forwarding? (S/MIME does - https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2634.txt)

I really don't understand why it has been chosen over S/MIME. Maybe they gave the money to that german guy who wrote it and now they don't want them to be completely wasted :)

S/MIME has very little adoption - the kind of people who care about encrypting their email are usually the same kind of people who don't trust the CA system.

Despite his German sounding name, I can assure you that Phil Zimmermann, the creator of PGP, is very much an American.

I think he meant GPG. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_Koch

[escap]

He meant Werner Koch, the guy who is maintaining gnupg A few months ago, he asked again for donation, this time he got "good media exposure" and got funded. cf https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9011138

Facebook pledged to donate $50,000 a year to Koch’s project.
