Under this scheme those
who killed selected
government employees,

Mercaptan (a stink gas).
Investigators found on his computer
documents relating to a plan to
destroy electronic equipment with
nickel-plated carbon fiber.
They also found an invoice for the
purchase of the fiber at his
residence, and a bundle of the
material at the residence of his
associate, Robert East. Bell had
exchanged PGP-encrypted e-mail
messages with some of his
associates.
As part of his plea bargain, he
turned over the passphrase to his
private key. This allowed
investigators to decrypt messages
that he had received.

Dutch organized crime syndicates
use PGP and PGPfone to encrypt
their communications. They also
use palmtop computers installed
with Secure Device, a Dutch
software product for encrypting data
with International Data Encryption
Algorithm (IDEA).
In 1995, the Amsterdam Police
captured a PC in possession of one
organized crime member. The PC
contained an encrypted partition,
which they were able to recover
only in 1997.
