The document snapshot analogy really helps.
I'm glad it's helped!
No, and I'm going to strongly encourage you to stop asking
implementation questions.
I think I'll take that advice.
When you think you're ready, we'll be here to answer your implementation
questions. It would break my heart if you thought you should never ask
them -- I just, only, think that diving into implementation details is
almost always a bad idea for new users.
If you want to teach someone poetry you start by showing them the witty
banter and playful puns in Shakespeare, and encourage them to laugh and
enjoy the show. Learning about iambic pentameter can wait. :)
I'm getting the picture now. The pgp key block is really the
certificate. The certificate holds the key and metadata.
Key(s): a certificate holds at least one, but usually more than one.
Beyond that minor detail you've got it perfect.
gpg --import < certificate.asc
So, when dealing with a displayed certificate (what I was calling a
pgp public key block), the only method I thought of was copying and
pasting it onto a txt file. But the import command doesn't work with
txt.
Sure it does. I did that no more than twenty minutes ago myself.
How were you trying to do this?
