reaction is essential!!     reaction is what initiates discussion -- which leads to progress.   the first ideas may be incomplete and not well thought through but it is essential to get them on the table to become part of the thought development process

establishing who you are communicating with is a critical point for the topic Secure Communication .    the gentlemen who who developed the mathematics for public key encryption put some very good thought into this

perhaps the element that we need to put more thought into revolves around the question: what might be the best method for casual users to authenticate keys ?

one thought comes to mind -- working from that Sammy presentation where two dudes transferred a playlist phone-to-phone using near field radio

a Corporate Environment is going to be very different from a Consumer environment.

it will be interesting to see how much interest this generates

one thing that continues to concern me is that the p=p and ENIGMAIL and PGP/Outlook systems need to be interoperable .
