Yup, instead of panicking, we should simply acknowledge the fact that secret communication is not possible without out-of-channel key exchange. The dream of circumventing this fact of life with the alchemy called "public key cryptography" is quickly coming to its end. It was nice while it lasted, but now is the time to move on. Like every change of massive technical infrastructure built on weak foundations this will be difficult and there will be casualties, but mostly among those that refuse to abandon public key cryptography as soon as they possibly can. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
