Auspicious Anniversary

In October 2001, Network Associates announced it had suspended development of PGP and put the technology up for sale. Created in 1991 by Phil Zimmermann, PGP became a standard for email cryptography and authentication. Zimmermann sold PGP to Network Associates in 1997. NAI's sell-off marked dark days for PGP aficionados, whose support helped turn PGP into an open standard. A group of former PGP team members formed PGP Corporation and eventually bought the assets from Network Associates.
