A digital signature means surprisingly little. These are the conditions that must be met for a signature to be meaningful: it must be correct, issued from a validated[*] certificate, and belong to a trusted person. If you've got all those, then yes, a digital signature can be very meaningful. If you don't, they mean very little. Maybe I should add this to the FAQ, along with an explanation of why. [*] Insert word-of-choice here. Trusted, validated, whatever. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
