Privacy has much more to do with encryption than with signing. On the contrary, when I sign a message it is much easier to prove, or at the very least make it probable, that I wrote it, thus reducing my privacy. When I want privacy from government agencies I would use encryption for sensitive or 1 to 1 messages. Signing will not help, when some 3-letter agancy starts sending messages in my name that is easily detected by me. For email this is easy, I'm now figuring out how to set up myn own encrypted VOIP server for secure phone conversations within a group. This proves much more complicated, most private VOIP services either don't support encryption, support it in an unsafe way (unencrypted key exchange, who the ^$*#E%#%& invented that?) or assume you're using fixed phones instead of mobiles over 3G. -- ir.
