hi Allie, NL>> more badly You cannot revoke a UID but only the self signature NL>> on it (which may or may not prevent users from encrypting to NL>> this UID)
> Encrypting to the UID? What do you mean by this? that sure was unclear: I meant using this UID to find the appropriate key to encrypt for a given e-mail address (which corresponds to that UID) e.g. when I have two keys in my keyring with each of them bearing a particular e-mail address, then it's hard to tell, which one a front-end will choose to use... there may be different strategies (using the newer UID by date, checking the self-signature or not, ask the user, ...) > I'm thinking of revoking the key on the keyservers and continue to > distribute it through a URL link with all messages that I sign. as Dierk Haasis already mentioned: don't do this! anyone who synchronizes with the keyservers cannot use Your key anymore... -- kind regards, Shalom NOrbert using TB 1.61 ______________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbtech.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
