Mon Mar 13 09:56 EDT; goldblum ============================== I have mixed feelings about the idea of signing posts cryptographically, as part of my general questioning of our over-dependence on crypto as a trust medium. I've written before about how prevalent this is, and the way it's used to beguile lay people. Most people have no idea about specifically what it is they're feeling more confident about when they believe something to be "cryptographically secure." But, I do like the idea of using signatures as a form of punctuation. For example, -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 don't trust anything you see coming from me which appears to be signed. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEARYKAB0WIQQfqJjzjharo5rcE5YygDxZFVO+2gUCZA8tYQAKCRAygDxZFVO+ 2ge3AQCb46HIox4p3S1C5i7XJJmeECUxWUCPnTl8xlSJget0DQEA9QKvRGC2MB5d dO3wjj1UgqR2VxWx3TWiMqg3oAYgWQI= =X6vL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- It almost certainly is fraudulent.
