Could this mail (or the practical upshot of it) be made public? [I've personally been interested in developing something along these lines to deal with controlling the public keyrings that I seem to have strewn througout mulitple machines, and it seems reasonable to attack both issues at once, assuming I ever get time to do this.] Don Armstrong -- "Ban cryptography! Yes. Let's also ban pencils, pens and paper, since criminals can use them to draw plans of the joint they are casing or even, god forbid, create one time pads to pass uncrackable codes to each other. Ban open spaces since criminals could use them to converse with each other out of earshot of the police. Let's ban flags since they could be used to pass secret messages in semaphore. In fact let's just ban all forms of verbal and non-verbal communication -- let's see those criminals make plans now!" http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
