I say we should ensure that as many citizens as possible get ahold of PGP as soon as possible.
Definitely. Spread the source.
But to realy get PGP going (or PEM for that matter) will require wide spread key distribution. It's clear that such distribution mechanisms are not going to arise out of any "respectfull" institutions mostly because of the legal entanglements they present. Perhaps the time has come for "alt.pgp.keyrings". A standard format for postings could allow them to be automatically added to global keyrings at usenet sites everywhere. Several security issues will have to be addressed before this can work. brad
