For further information, I recommend the very comprehensive web pages of Patrick Feisthammel at http://www.rubin.ch/pgp/pgp.en.html (English) or http://www.rubin.ch/pgp/pgp.de.html (in German).         There is a very short introduction for this topic I wrote some time ago.

For a few years I am experimenting with Linux on both our office and private PCs. While for a few years having used SuSE Linux, I have now converted to Debian Linux. See the linux page, if you are interested.

Some information presented at my talk entitled "Kill or get killed - Computer security today" are given on a special computer security webpage.

Some people asked me to include some private information on this web-page... Well, here is a picture of the main task of Caroline and myself (picture from May 1998). For more information, see our private pages at www.kradolfer.net
