So, I have been thinking that a way an artist can insure a viewer that the art they are viewing is really that of the artist, the artist can *sign* their art with their private key and others can check it with their public key. Now, the art would be factered into the key generated that others would check with the public key. ... But it would be interesting to find if you think this is possible.
Maybe I'm missing something, but why can't you just use the detached signature option of pgp? "pgp -sb file" will created a signature file that is seperate from the document (named file.asc by default, I'm pretty sure); later, the file and your public key can be used to verify the signature! -- Karl L.
