Still, it would be great if there was a way to transport the ideas of
public/private key and the web of trust to an average user, since the
MQC "Has a basic appreciation of system security, encryption and
user/groups and file permissions." [MQC description,
http://wiki.lpi.org/wiki/LinuxBasics#Minimally_Qualified_Candidate_Description].

I agree that this is not always easy and I must confess I have no idea
how long a training for this programme would be or how a valid item
would look alike, but it's still a draft ;-)

Best regards
