QR codes can handle 2953 bytes of 8-bit binary data. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code That's not a whole lof of data, for full contact information plus an OpenPGP key. It's unrealistic to assume a whole key will fit. Luckilyk, the PGP keyserver networks work pretty well, and there's other ways of distributing the keys, too. You can, for example, provide a URL to the public key. -- Freedom-based blog/wiki/web hosting: http://www.branchable.com/ _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
