The overall problem with importing keys is that you need to first import the key. When you're done, you need to open the key properties dialog or the Key Manager to sign the key and/or to set the owner trust. All of this needs too many independent actions from the user and it's all too technical. My idea is that the process for importing keys should be something like a wizard as below. I don't have any mockups, this is just a brain dump. Before the keys are actually imported is done, you get a list of the keys that you are about to import (this is especially useful for imports from files, as you don't know what's inside). I'd say it's enough to display User ID, creation date, fingerprint, and revocation status. The list should allow for each key to choose how well you trust the owner of the key. My idea is something simple that people understand like 1 star to 5 stars with some explanation. E.g. - - 1 star = I don't know the owner of the key ... - - 5 stars = I'm very sure that the key is from the person it it supposed to be and I know that person well. Depending on the number of stars, the keys are automatically signed and trusted with a specific type of answer. Furthermore, it should be possible to "share" your "trust with others. Sharing is nothing else but non-local signatures that are uploaded to a keyserver. > * new simplified Keymanager GUI as proposed by Ludwig I'm already working on this one, so there is no action required from anyone else. - -Patrick -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJVX09OAAoJENsRh7ndX2k7J1oQAJSFW4C7fyXhkC+ewzuM9/4m fVaeYGdiGuPDzJ0elqxiE6D6NSF14AlB1iBCLXthBFD9joU7ctpk/7ht3GA4nmBX GqPBJWjnRovx1nbCKI8cI4Vlu8Vl5S+GGeKcSH9/v0oCm8jl2t8JCGUMbyix3dki FFUOJzh+VomGgJTKqCNkcktqjw8M1Eb6dxvZ/KCVf78cgSAvTpr2U6s3Ke250Jxm 5N+BKmBo9elygrrfqJsV96Uhb1oH22yIJSrzFOND7RH7SJwcIEnjnr9/llTkt316 el8Yq/ovXyU1c+xyKmQijhK/04XF9764FxxOnZkcrhe9l/UDWeU6vpVmj4hILBIm ArPurJOsai4FDZCTEZcl/PiPXB6jrNYnv5Pv1iy5/+iVT360326ti7fpQoVxG0rU oYD+LLilxFiKTm6WhoU1IZuWWnj76PIyZxEf/P462fcILvu1yGKXWEqHH3OXFvQm 1ARwn5FGiFtyBxOWluWlpSUDwdSOXfMshEYuCScE0zpbq2jzMxmr1Pmap+l25lNt ZxoPGsdu21WuJ21MMVWFwl67g7yBOgZFr4yemY2yECsmXC9bfogH3qS5RYoa3A8l tpQDBnwykdhMNo1MWC+kHgHO2wAfwedPDclUt5T/UVzYfFjrn54shq7WEx7CcvU2 zVCcKtQ4cbiKwT5aRZaN =MET3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
