The german computer magazine c't has a longrunning campaign where they effectively certify your identity (through your passport) for PGP. It's very good, and you can even go and "signup" at your local post-office, IIRC. The procedure only works in Germany (coz' it requires a trusted and basic legal framework for proving your identity), but it's pretty neat. I wish some other magazines or entities would take on something similar. http://www.heise.de/security/dienste/pgp/ /Per -- regards, Per Jessen, Zurich http://www.spamchek.com - let your spam stop here! _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
