Hello friends of OpenPGP, as part of his Bachelor thesis [1], Christoph wants so to find out, which actions could increase the overall usage of WKD.
Ideally we should be able to observe some changes in the usage of WKD over time and hopefully can credit something to some changes like measures tried during the research. So how do we observe WKD usage over time? Obviously this is hard to do, as we are in a decentral system, this is designed to keep things private. Thus our measurement could only be indirectly. One idea is: If we have a public email address where a lot of emails are send to, e.g. the submission address of a mailinglist we could set up an OpenPGP key for it via WKD and use a small tool to pipe each incoming mail through on the server to decrypt and count the mail. We can also count the number of request for the WKD address on the webserver serving the WKD. In both counts, no personal data is saved. So it is just about the safety of the decryption tool, which can be provided. Do you know email addresses, e.g. of mailinglists, where you know the server administrators would be potentially willing to help this academic research? An other ideas?
