Something or somebody decides Grandma to take an interest in some product. The idea is that the Key ID be an integral part of that something, whether that something is a web site found by search, or a print advertisement, or word-of-mouth from a friend. Perfect cryptographically-strong introduction. No CA. Whether the merchant is Amazon or FakeAmazon doesn't matter. What matters is that Grandma took an interest in the product associated with that Key ID. She enters that key into her local "key book" (like a phone book) and refers to it when she wants to learn more about the product, or to buy it. - -- -- StealthMonger <[email protected]> Long, random latency is part of the price of Internet anonymity. anonget: Is this anonymous browsing, or what? http://groups.google.ws/group/alt.privacy.anon-server/msg/073f34abb668df33?dmode=source&output=gplain stealthmail: Hide whether you're doing email, or when, or with whom. mailto:[email protected]?subject=send%20index.html Key: mailto:[email protected]?subject=send%20stealthmonger-key -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.9 <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iEYEARECAAYFAk6AwJUACgkQDkU5rhlDCl4gLQCggS6Cvz5KuIm66G99/OoQleb/ QyIAoIXlZ/VxBJmKuJD8Rgt3tD3rwOst =+29+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list [email protected] http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
