Almost 1 in every 1000 earth       human has one. ;)              On the other hand. Almost every one with a key has more than 1. (Like Tommy's       18 ;))               WvV>> That requires some human employer to check this, and would make        WvV>> the company responsible in case a human mistake was made. They        WvV>> want that to be an external risk, not theirs...               AA> Maybe true re external risk. But if we are just talking about a        AA> signature for a release-date acknowledgement, all "they" have to do is        AA> pull my public key to verify that the pgp-signed message with "I agree"        AA> was indeed penned by me.               AA> Some aspects of business-2-business are ripe for pgp.              You don't have to convince me. ;)              Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 154/10 203/0 221/0 227/114 229/426 1014 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 423/120 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 280/464 229/426           |
