Do not sign my photo until you see me in person, although it would be tricky to fake photo-id production on skype. Photo-id doesn't make very good single frames, but change the angle on television and those chrome things flicker and move... > A phone number would only help if the person ringing it knew you well > enough to recognise your voice on the phone.

That is what a signed mp3 in my comment is about, and just in case you do not follow links in message source [comments] very often... http://ecn.ab.ca/~brewhaha/gpg/Keyprint_Biometric.mp3.pgp (I will never call it a thumbprint or a fingerprint; key hash) Kleopatra won't handle that file...says no data, and gpg will handle it on a command line, making an mp3 out of it. Additionally, you can do a reverse lookup on my phone number and at least see if I am lying about my given and family names, according to a corporation that my library used to verify my identity. My bottom line is that photos and phone numbers do not hurt. _______ Quantum Mechanics do it on fields and in time. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: http://ecn.ab.ca/~brewhaha/gpg/Keyprint_Biometric.mp3.pgp Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQCVAwUBTjF+yR47apzXdID2AQFtwAP+Lqb7pQJzmkX8rS+vE6zR0VzEZGAFfhre fIC8Y87nms0oZqm3R/524et8uofveIi87qvVZZ+zdY64oku/bgqqnM0kQQhKUHEj pjMwuNE6APiOsNRDiDeEEgx5OPZSk+/THVlKI0JPOAvjEuv/ThAT9aQMm/RBrlyG e2xgTNyjM18= =2bpK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
