So people are currently trusting the *name* of a person, but... What happens if I show a proper ID but use fake e-mail addresses in my key? Nobody told me how you verify e-mail addresses... So, if I had an anonymous uid in my key, how likely is someone to sign it without meeting in person? I am not claiming to be Georgi Georgiev with that uid, I only claim to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] To see what I mean -- gpg --refresh-keys [EMAIL PROTECTED] and verify the signature of this message. The latest uid that I just created has no name associated with it, so no need for an ID, right? I just need to prove that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is my address, right? -- ) Georgi Georgiev ) What we Are is God's gift to us. What we ) ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( Become is our gift to God.
