Well, a pgp key user ID usually includes a first and last name (and of course the email address) a signatures indicates that the signee has verified that the key is associated with the person given in the user ID field. Asking for an official picture ID is usually a good method to verify the person's name. Personally, I never sign keys that contain no name or only some funny nickname (I only made a single exception in the past). ciao... -- Lars Eilebrecht - I may not agree with what you say, but [EMAIL PROTECTED] - I will defend to death your right to encrypt it! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
