The problem is that they don't understand that it is entirely irrelevant whether they trust *us*. If we stuff up (our key gets compromised by our fault) = *we* are liable for the consequences If they stuff up (our key gets compromised by THEIR fault) = *we* are (still!) liable for the consequences because it will be close to impossible to prove in court that it was their fault If in any case we will get the blame and suffer the consequences, what's so difficult then to understand that *we* want full control? _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
