Wouldn't necessarily be to _hide_ anything either. I tend to use it as a role-based approach, e.g. I have an own key for my work address (that is barely used at all, but it _is_ available). The primary reason for this is that I have that key located on the company computer which is under the control of the IT department, not me, so wouldn't want to use my own personal keys for that. - -- - ---------------------------- Kristian Fiskerstrand Blog: http://blog.sumptuouscapital.com Twitter: @krifisk - ---------------------------- Public PGP key 0xE3EDFAE3 at hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net fpr:94CB AFDD 3034 5109 5618 35AA 0B7F 8B60 E3ED FAE3 - ---------------------------- Carpe noctem Seize the night -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJTu7G6AAoJEPw7F94F4TagCEsP/j2NW8lSZA5/h8ecReODQF/0 J4jA6M+SkrX3gqObzbfWlN2GFObf8ADJkcNiwAxKHkmB7kw5YC7d7+zK/DVj2Kdc iHkSR15vGPf1xT5FRDcU+VFy30s8UYfjPGVnyhAUF890rKCw7QUxPPfv+1MhmU2V qeAkLPdELr0Rv2qUsQUpwecsDpiwb1j6zm1hMcnIVSNAiIpXS3SsGR4JCfDZQqpW MF1EuGC58qswIHrHGeL3qwOVcHQPCh4ZAlqTcxl7q9wOtm9o9FdY13x/61gTMVrs J0zwSh2mKPRLT7VoN6Dhjebtd6onLzZVBXUq/3L8Zyo+cSxOAe68JRxH+iBxXtZs oxOJF44TgQc5ISIO1rxNldhTJrI1sTi2kNja0l7dNQs9hrjWCcf6WBNXJFtp3oIf 1Oz+PliPLlt7YNqRaXL+A+9yt5aukMJ7cyiuqXW7sMWBl+xOmk+UW39U8jomKpOZ a20E1TG+rtoVUYDs5bMXTNPop5KVdyPHz+P60KEwbC3AGIJ/DtU9RDCmEqreEPQ7 L9Bu8nn8j/hTH7pesRRGoeSeGM8NFB6AEJ7VKW/F/35Ztz1+NN6fvdsTrHMdYYQL ghCW7FCNDGagGCtPEIPzxnqGKQTnd617SMeZ8G8LK6bkciyHlFnzDhS9ySvfAOg0 EJqGNNneFHEHQJ0AO08m =0yX4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
