It is *supposedly* still available from Broadcom, under the name “Symantec
Desktop Email Protection” [1].

How you can *actually* get it is another question. My understanding is that
you first need to buy a licence from one of Broadcom’s partners, then get
your licence number [2], and then finally download the software [3].

I had a somewhat similar interest a while ago. I was trying to find some
technical details about the current version of PGP – e.g., which algorithms
does it support? Did they implement ECC keys? If so, which curves? etc.

I was never able to find this kind of information…
