-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- It has been brought to our attention that PGP 2.64ui ignores "upper" ASCII characters (decimal 128-255) entered for passphrases. Actually, it beeps when such a character is entered, but in some operating environments the beep may not be audible. If people use "upper" ASCII characters in passphrases, the passphrase is weaker than the user expects, since only the "normal" characters are actually used. Use of "upper" ASCII characters may also introduce incompatibilities between PGP 5.x, which does accept upper ASCII characters, and PGP 2.64ui. There are no upper ASCII characters on a USA keyboard; but users of PC's configured for European languages may enter upper ASCII characters when they enter various accented or other "national" characters, so they are more likely to be affected by this restriction. Our strong advice is to use only the base ASCII character set (a-z,A-Z,0-9) when specifying a new passphrase. Some other punctuation characters can also be used. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.64ui iQCVAwUBNfLvjQc2DukbwCfhAQGiBQP/V4ggzFlIZD+nlsKEXUAiiDXNSNH5s2O0 Xt2WqLzsFm4JuPGDDfSo9s7gy5/LaH+5/JJFZEUWg3K90S4H3DvLtGDgfKfOZ9eu Vhr5nkiDm0tKeuI1AFFnrTCRHFMem4OzMeBdMVWJ0nsSdvQczBDOtlSwalM5FlzQ k6Up4FGMaUI= =dPow -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
