When you work in compliance mode it should be IHMO possible that people wishing to communicate with you (from foreign countries) and may have a different opinion about privacy, GnuPG should accept such public keys, without using extra parameters and that you can easily add them to your key ring, with a simple label, thus not revealing the identity of them, in case your computer or smartphone gets later compromised or is searched at an airport etc. Regards Stefan -- Signal (Desktop) +4915172173279 https://keybase.io/stefan_claas _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
