-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

This is to announce the availability of Version 1.4a of SecureDrive.

SecureDrive Version 1.4a replaces version 1.4, 1.3d, and previous
versions.

Release 1.4a is a maintenance release of 1.4. No new function is added.

Only module SDCOMMON.C has a non-cosmetic change, which affects
executables LOGIN.EXE and CRYPTDSK.EXE. For that reason, all other
executables still self-identify as release 1.4. They are in fact the
exact same EXE & COM files as release 1.4.

1.4a fixes a problem decrypting or activating a diskette or disk
partition encrypted with both a passphrase and a keyfile.

There are also some minor changes in SECDRV.DOC.

In the USA, SecureDrive 1.4a is not available at

    Colorado Catacombs BBS - 303-772-1062 (up to 28,800 bps, 8n1) -
    log in with your own name or alias.  Download SECDR14A.ZIP from
    the [F]ile menu.

    see ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/README for the ???????  in
    ftp://ftp.csn.net/mpj/I_will_not_export/crypto_???????/disk/secdr14a.zip

    See ftp://miyako.dorm.duke.edu/pub/GETTING_ACCESS for access to
    ftp://miyako.dorm.duke.edu/mpj/crypto/link/mpj/disk/secdr14a.zip

These are all controlled-access sites available to USA citizens and
residents only.

Thanks to the cooperation of Steve Crompton of the U.K., who worked
with me closely, I am able to also announce availability on an
offshore site,

  ftp://utopia.hacktic.nl/pub/replay/pub/incoming/SECDR14A.ZIP

If you perchance don't find it there try directories

    /pub/replay/pub/crypto/CRYPTOapps
    /pub/replay/pub/disk

which currently contains previous versions of SecureDrive. But as I
write, SECDR14A.ZIP has been left in the incoming directory for
several days.

Steve also uploaded 1.4a to

    ftp.ox.ac.uk/incoming

But it has been removed from there and has (so far) not reappeared
elsewhere. But previous versions are in directory

    pub/crypto/misc

so it might be worth checking there from time to time.

In case anyone in the U.S. Justice Dept. is reading this, Steve and I
were very careful to do this release without violating US export
restrictions. The only things I "exported" to Steve were "diffs" for
source changes from 1.4 to 1.4a, which themselves don't contain any
code capable of encryption or decryption. Steve combined those with
source for 1.4, which "leaked" from the US sites where I released it
months ago.

Steve compiled the new source code, and sent the new EXE files to me.
I compared the new executables to ones I compiled myself and verified
they match, bit for bit.  I then sent back to Steve detached signature
files for the executables.  Steve then put together SECDR14A.ZIP and
sent that to me for final inspection.  I then compared all files
against my "master" files here and verified that they matched. I then
shipped the SECDR14A.ZIP that Steve sent me to the USA sites. So the
USA release matches bit for bit the offshore release.

Here are the contents of SECDR14A.ZIP

Also note that the ZIP file contains PGP detached signatures (*.SIG)
for the executable files.  Finally here is my public key, also
available on many public keyservers; note who has signed it. Also
please note my present Email address.
