Back in the days of PGP I generated quite a few keys. And toyed with them as well. In time I discovered that people won't bother returning the courtesy of signing. That people would rather make you read your message over the phone than decrypt anything. And that a chain is a strong as the weakest link so once encryption becomes spread is going to be pretty useless.
I'm redescovering encryption from another point of view, the one of the single user. As long as I do care about the data and I'm the sole user I can employ whatever code I deem useful to make my data unreadable for a third party, as long as the data does not leave my computer. Now I'm the weakest link and I have no one to blame. Which is good. And along the way I picked the anonymity concept. While in the real life that used to be a given, same online there was no such thing. And I discover there can be anonymity online. And that best code breakers use rubber hose cryptography. So plausible deniability is something for a divorce trial. That leads to the idea that having the cryptographic keys and signature of one Emmanuel Goldstein instantly makes you Emmanuel Goldstein beyond the proof of any photo ID telling another story. So may I ask you why are you using the GPG keys? _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
