====PGP Corporation====
In August 2002, several ex-PGP team members formed a new company, [[PGP Corporation]], and bought the PGP assets (except for the command line version) from NAI. The new company was funded by Rob Theis of Doll Capital Management (DCM) and Terry Garnett of Venrock Associates. PGP Corporation supported existing PGP users and honored NAI's support contracts. Zimmermann served as a special advisor and consultant to PGP Corporation while continuing to run his own consulting company. In 2003, PGP Corporation created a new server-based product called PGP Universal. In mid-2004, PGP Corporation shipped its own command line version called PGP Command Line, which integrated with the other PGP Encryption Platform applications. In 2005, PGP Corporation made its first acquisition: the [[Germany|German]] software company Glück & Kanja Technology AG,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://glueckkanja.com/ |title=glueckkanja.com |publisher=glueckkanja.com |access-date=2013-08-06 |archive-date=April 11, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210411005144/https://glueckkanja.com/ |url-status=live }}</ref> which became PGP Deutschland AG.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://pgp.de/ |title=pgp.de |publisher=pgp.de |access-date=2013-08-06 |archive-date=April 25, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190425163743/http://pgp.de/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 2010, PGP Corporation acquired Hamburg-based certificate authority TC TrustCenter and its parent company, [[ChosenSecurity]], to form its PGP TrustCenter<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.pgptrustcenter.com |title=pgptrustcenter.com |publisher=pgptrustcenter.com |date=January 26, 2010 |access-date=2013-08-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140109130044/https://www.pgptrustcenter.com/ |archive-date=January 9, 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref> division.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.pgp.com/insight/newsroom/press_releases/pgp_corporation_acquires_chosensecurity.html |title=News Room – Symantec Corp |publisher=Pgp.com |access-date=2012-03-23 |archive-date=May 10, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100510153018/http://www.pgp.com/insight/newsroom/press_releases/pgp_corporation_acquires_chosensecurity.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
