Chapter 6 - Which cryptographic software to use?

So now that you want to keep your secrets secret, and be able to prove to others that you actually sent that message, where do you get the software to actually do it? Clicking on the package name will take you to that package in appendix A (which tells you where and how to get it). Click on the keyword "Chapter XX" and that will take you to the chapter where the subject is covered. If there is an operating system I missed that I get sufficient requests for I will add it in (for example VMS), and if there is a product I have not included that is worthwhile please tell me.
