I was not there, so I might miss quite many things, but from readings seems that he showed his real ID under a presumably faked ID card, and some people signed his key based on it. > Given that he is acknowledges trying to dupe people, why do > you think he is not lying about the contents of the ID? This is a question for the people that signed his key based on the apparently evidently faked ID card. I do not think that was Martin who cracked the KSP, but the people who signed his key based on extremely doubtful identification. I also think you are overreacting about Martin, somebody wanting to get a signed key under a fake identity for bad purposes would not act like Martin, but in a more subtle (and dangerous) way. The only think I can complain about Martin is for not putting shame on those that were to sign his key just before signing, so others learn. > Rubbish.

If things are this easy we are in a problem, and this is the problem, not Martin. -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
