The current program for key management -- based on keys
certified, and regrettably, sometimes issued by a central
certifying authority -- just is not working. This is partly
because most of the recipients do not understand about
private and public keys, and partly because of an amazingly
user hostile interface designed to obstruct people who do not
know what they are doing from screwing up even more than they
do already, but which in practice just plain obstructs them.
