Magical thinking works independently of technology, so I'm sure there's a lot of it in the PGP world as well :-). >Would you extend the association to Lotus Notes as another PKC user community >(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Notes#Security)? Notes is another matter entirely, it's never been subject to any independent analysis or scrutiny, so there could be holes in there big enough to drive a truck through (and from what I've both seen of other PKI implementations, and of Notes in general, I'm pretty sure they'll be there). I'm not sure that an application that can barely be trusted to get a piece of mail from A to B correctly should be trusted to get its PKI right. But then that's another debate entirely. In both cases though you need to look at it from the point of view of "is the mechanism being employed appropriate for what's being secured" rather than "we use PKCs, all security problems are solved".
