Since you have only received (not so) funny answers: a signature, in PGP, serves more or less the same purpose of a handwritten one. Most of the time it will mean "I am the author of this (email|document| article)" but not always -- as with handwritten one it could be used within a contract, etc. If you have the public key of person A, you can verify with PGP his signature, so you will be sure the document you received has not been tampered with. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
