Hi Olav,

I'd also rather use the analogy of a "padlock without key" to be distributed by
the receipient of a message. That way you're able to explain the prerequisite
for asymmetric crypto as we use it in OpenPGP: the receipent must "do something"
BEFORE anyone can send anything (secured by that means) to him. Everyone knows
what happens if you snap the lever into the lock - you're only able to unlock it
if you have the key (or a big tool, OK).

But how would you explain signing from that point of view?
