Well I was thinking of exporting at first, but it's too fraught with problems. I would in general like to see more use of persona signatures as certifying keys as good enough. Essentially I see the requirements for certifying keys as a massive barrier to entry for common use. Greater integration of local signatures into mail clients would be great though, essentially you could use your public key ring as an address book. Currently none (AFAIK) even offer the security of the SSH known hosts file of ensuring the same key is used as from the first contact. -- Steve Jones <st...@secretvolcanobase.org> Key fingerprint: 3550 BFC8 D7BA 4286 0FBC 4272 2AC8 A680 7167 C896
