if you follow computer fraud and abuse much you'll learn that most fraud
and abuse follows one of several principle patterns. one of these is
"phishing" and some reports attribute 2/3 of fraud to this method
PGP mail properly authenticates messages -- which ordinary e/mail does
not. I can send you an e/mail and claim it's from R.M.Nixon
think about this is a broader sense: our Personally Identifyable
Information ("PII") is distributed everywhere -- much of this results
from the commercial system marketing activity . as a result another
major class of fraud is simple forgery -- of credit cards, tax returns,
electronic checks -- etc
note that these transactions could not be forged if (1) proper digital
signatures were used, and (2) secure operating software were used.
I see a trend toward (2) but little progress on (1)
