You can only check whether the key owner "has access" to the email address. You cannot check whether this access is in any way exclusive, legit or whatever. But the same is true for all other things one can check before a signature: - The signee has access to the private key (since the UID he wants you to certify is signed by it). - The signee has access to documents/evidence proving that the name in the UID is his. cu, Sven _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
