Summary: GnuPG: automatically attach my public key and the public key from all receivers - also automatically import attached public keys (decentral key management) Product: kmail Version: 1.12.1 Platform: unspecified OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: general AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs@kde.org ReportedBy: arne_...@web.de Version: 1.12.1 (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1), Gentoo) Compiler: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.30-hh2 I'd love to be able to tell KMail to automatically attach my public GnuPG key and all public GnuPG keys of the receivers to each email I send (and sign/encrypt). Along with the option to automatically import any attached GnuPG key, that would open the possiblity of using GnuPG without the need for central keyservers: If I sign a key, its owner will automatically get the updated version once he gets an email from me. And since GnuPG keys aren't verified via "I have it" but via the web of trust, this would be completely safe. No longer needing the keyservers would also alleviate a privacy concern. Currently people can find the people who verified my key by getting my key from a keyserver. By doing key spreading and signature merging decentrally (by sending mails), this type of analysis will become much less threatening, since the data will very likely be incomplete. People would have to get the public key directly from me or from some of their contacts to be able to do a signer-analysis - and they couldn't easily broaden it by getting the signed keys from my signers from the servers. All this can be accomplished by adding the two options "always attach my public key and the keys of all public receivers (only "TO" and "CC"!) and "always import attached GnuPG keys".
