Greetings. I am sorry if this is already answered but i could not find anything relevant in the archive.
Quick introduction: I got a new smart card and reader so i thought to create a temporary test key and document on my blog all the steps i did over the years. In the next post i want to describe the policy urls and notations i use. If i have understood the standard correctly, notations should have the form t...@my.domain.tld using a domain i own because my meaning for "tag" might be different than someone else's. Is this correct ? Some users do not own a domain but have a github account. For some time now, github supports creating a repository containing html files and naming it username.github.io. Then http://username.github.io renders all the files in that repository as a normal webpage. I wouldn't want to encourage bad practice so i worry if i should mention this functionality or not. (for example issuer-...@username.github.io=%g) The user controls the content of the repository but he does not "own" the domain (neither it is a real domain). Also sending e-mail to the notation name will not work (though this functionality is optional). Are notations with such a "domain" a valid case or are considered bad practice and should not be used ? Another question i have is about the pgpmime notation. I see many people using it verbatim "preferred-email-encod...@pgp.com=pgpmime". Shouldn't @pgp.com be changed to the domain of each user ? Thank you for your time. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
