It sounds like you value the flavour of privacy that could be afforded by a scheme involving the use of hashes in UIDs to protect names and email addresses. Such a scheme would (for example) allow somebody with one of your email addresses to locate your key, but would not allow somebody to devine your names or email addresses by inspecting your key. An extension would be required to allow GnuPG to locate keys using both the hash and the plaintext string simultaneously. Suggestions like this tend to get lambasted because they do not enhance security, and privacy appears to be seen as unimportant. - -- Best regards MFPA mailto:expires2...@rocketmail.com Live your life as though every day it was your last. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQCVAwUBTx3r5aipC46tDG5pAQpDIgQArkukbT5Jgj+eCVudxfuUfOrDDcyI7Dh1 ACn2HFlPDoVXd27AlK7uilmPB/aQEQQqWtK5SJNDe2F5fq06s9Y2Nq4oXR3yEfF5 DpPrFFxC533Sa9mVTpL2xgj/nIezLWvoPrrC3aUCBC1X9qhpY2lYI89MQ9VRZ1wg FBMZ58+QI8I= =Kv7v -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
