Why do you think this would be useful? I think it would make it easier to interchange public keys. I have tried over many years to encourage my friends to use pgp, one of the obstacles was the extraction and interchange of the public keys. I started to use smime recently and besides its flaws I have to admit that the key interchange is easier (most likely be more insecure) > You could do all of this within the existing OpenPGP specification, but > to make it actually useful (and not just bloat your signatures in ways > that no one else bothers to take advantage of) you might want to modify > GnuPG a bit. > Here are some thoughts on how you might approach it if you think this is > a worthwhile goal. > OpenPGP notations: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#section-5.2.3.16 thanks [snip] > So to extend gpg, you might add some other --verify-options directive > like import-embedded-key-notation. > make sense? I think it does, but it sounds like a project for the (far) future. regards Uwe
