Security issues:
****************
ZIP -AV (applies only to ZIPped edition)
-----------------------------------------
The ZIP archive you just opened contained an -AV envelope.
Authentic files Verified! # OBD305
MetroNET BBS
If the archive fails the authentication test, please do NOT use
it and inform support@avp.ch immediately.
This archive my only be obtained from Metropolitan Network BBSs
Web/FTP servers or BBS.
An additional level of security is provided through PGP
digital signature (see below).
PGP digital signature
---------------------
To check the authenticity of the files INSTALL.EXE/DISK001.NID, you need
PGP, Pretty Good privacy. This file however is not a tutorial on how to
use PGP, it is assumed you know how to use it.
The files with an ".ASC" extension contain a detached digital signature.
To get the necessary PGP public, send an empty mail to:
pgp@metro.ch
within a minute or so, you will receive the necessary PGP public key you
have to add to your public key ring.
Check the integrity of [filename].exe like this:
PGP 2.6x
pgp [filename].asc [filename].exe
PGP will output a message like this:
[...]
Good signature from user "Gerard Vuille <gerard.vuille@metro.ch>".
[...]
If you're using PGP 5.0, you can verify the files signatures
through the Windows Explorer.
If you get a "bad signature" message, you are either using a
wrong public key from us, or the file has been tampered with.
Should the latter be the case, contact us immediately (support@avp.ch) and
don't run the archive.
