Of course. This isn't the base case. We would have some keys which I sign based on my own personal knowledge; things handed to me by people I know; some possibly published in the paper where the real key owner would see the claim and be able to contest it.
You are making the same erroneous assumption that Phil made when he designed the Web of trust: You assume that it is important and interesting to link key ID's to physical bodies.
Thanks for that reminder. I am actually not bound to the notion of keys being only for people. I'm a defender of the rights of disembodied processes from way back :-). However, this particular discussion was focussed on people. - Carl +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Carl M.
