Henrik,I guess many people also thinks that having a PGP signature on mails make them - true (while paranoid people would actually verify the signatures)No, PGP signatures help me establish trust to individuals by allowing me to connect messages by the same individual to each other and then decide whether I trust that person. That a key also has a more-or-less pronounceable name embedded simply helps my brain to remember which individual was just talking.
what annoys me is when users post signed messages *but refuse to upload their keys* WTF? "I might need to prove I said it someday" is *not* a valid reason to waste my bandwidth just to give you a publication claim at some unlikely future point. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
