I think the term «signing» leads to confusion, too. When I receive a signed statement from a good friend, I have no chance to prove whether he signed or not. And proving if something was added after he signed it is even more difficult. But as far as I know this is all possible with an OpenPGP signature. So are there analogies that can easily explain what signing does? -- PGP: 0x7694EB9B (http://rosetree.de/pgp) http://www.email-nur-an-dich.de/
