So there already is a use case.
You've just described the use case for a local certification. Certifications come in two basic varieties: public and private. A public certification is intended as an announcement to the world: "Hey, world! I am [name] and I vouch for this certificate!" If people want to make public pronouncements of social relationship, why in the world would you want to deploy a technology that makes it difficult to discover this social relationship? This doesn't make any sense to me. Quite possibly I have completely misunderstood what you're arguing. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
