   Well lately I've seen it in this area and FIDOTEST. ;)   
   But I wasn't paying attention before. ;)   
      
   Outside of fidonet. I see it sometimes in newsgroups. And I know the   
   (open)suse, software distribution system makes use of gpg keys to sign the   
   distributed software.   
      
    AA>>> But a pgp signature would be even simpler and faster.   
      
    WvV>> If they can verify the signature is really made by who you   
    WvV>> claim you are! It would be even better, because it's easier

    AA> Yep.  PGP signing would be a very convenient solution for signing

   I don't think "they" are going to trust it, untill there will be a government   
   key signing authority, that can "properly" verify your identity.   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
