Would it be to openly prove their identity if it was widely in doubt? Also, the legitimate owner could set up something to post it when they die which would make some sense. On Sat, Apr 30, 2011 at 2:51 PM, <Valdis.Kletnieks () vt edu> wrote:

Most of whom probably Didn't Get The Memo. However, for bonus points, can you think of a plausible scenario(*) where posting the private key actually makes sense? (Hint - what are the crypto implications of doing this as opposed to posting a revocation cert?)
