Ok, I know most people wont care about the signature... but I just need to be able to say "I have covered the authenticity problem with... and the software is free, and friendly enough to be used by anybody" (if I say "and the user just need to go to command prompt and..." I would get the following answer "do you seriously think the user will bother himself to go to the command prompt? probably the user won't even know what is a command prompt")

I saw something like that as a plugin for keepass, but it uses the windows keyboard on screen, and do some thing to the registry... so that plugin is not so portable... I will try this one. Anyway, my current problem requires portable apps, not to be able to use the software "anywhere", but to avoid the need to install things... I think people is much more likely to use these tools if they read "download it, unzip it, and you are ready to use it... if you no longer want it on your computer, just delete the folder, nothing is stored in your registry", than if they read "go to gnupg.org, locate the most recent windows installer (don't be afraid about the source codes... that is mainly for linux people and developers). Then go to mozilla.org, and... then install all that and..." > But It was discussed here before. > If you have no control on your hardware, you cannot have your keys safer. Yes, that is true... I don't carry the primary key in the usb memory stick, and I usually just use it on friend's computers, my friends usually know how to stay free from virus and other unwanted stuff...
