In many cases we don't know if the name behind the message is real. Notarized digital certificates from Thawte or CAcert contain the user's name. Because identity credentials are checked, we are assured that the identity behind the name/address is the real person. On the GPG/PGP side the same can be said for those verified by the Gossamer Web of Trust (GSWoT). In these instances we can be assured the name is real. Everyone else, unless you know them personally is a crap shoot. Of course, depending on the circumstances, knowing the true identity may be insignificant. -- Kevin Coates Dewitt, NY USA Using TB! v3.5.24 under Windows XP 5.1.2600 SP2 ________________________________________________________________ (see kludges for my pgp key)
