A real world system needs to know the key for decryption and not fall back to a time consuming mode of trial decryption with all available secret keys. Some people are using dozens or even hundreds of secret keys; in particular if you are using several pseudonyms or key rotating. OpenPGP is not designed to thwart traffic analysis. It has merely some provisions to help such a system Salam-Shalom, Werner _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
