Hi Stuart and list,

As opposed to PGP: yes. But as you can see from Marten's problem and
my similar experience this kind of certification is used with TLS
(SSL) transport-encryption too. (X-509 certificate comes to mind,
but I'm _not_ an expert regarding encryption by any means).

Yep. Just keep in mind that a secure connection (like G-mail) _is_
encrypted.
