Subj : Re: anyone using digital signatures? To : Rich From : Geo. Date : Thu Mar 15 2001 03:40 pm From: "Geo." Rich, I'm weird, what can I say.. but when I install Outlook or Express, I go in and delete all the cert authorities. I don't like my machine checking with anyone unless I tell it to. Even if it's just to look up someone elses cert. Geo. "Rich" <@> wrote in message news:3aad9ff0$1@w3.nls.net... If you don't care to have a certification authority like Verisign issue your certificate you can issue one to yourself. It limits the value of any claim of identity but if you only care about recognizing tampering or using encryption that would be OK. Rich "Geo." wrote in message news:3aad67a9@w3.nls.net... I use PGP because it's free to home users. Way I see it, you don't need to pay to prove who you are. Geo. "Robert Bononno" wrote in message news:3aaac687@w3.nls.net... I was wondering if anyone was using digital signatures with Outlook Express (I have version 5)? Microsoft points you to Veritas, which charges something like 10 bucks a year. I was wondering: - how well does this work - how well is it integrated with OE - what about attachments? - what's the best way of making a public key available to someone I've never used PGP or any other form of digital signature or encryption but have been toying with the idea. There have been occasions when it could have come in handy. -- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Robert Bononno rbononno@erols.com on the Web at: http://www.erols.com/rbononno mirror site: http://homepages.nyu.edu/~rb28/ --- XP Toss HTML Stripper v0.3.4 * Origin: Barktopia Gating Project (1:379/100) .
