-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I'd like to bring up a problem I haven't seen addressed much yet, and which I think is going to come up with increasing frequency as PGP use spreads. The problem is this: how can one spread the word that an old key is no longer to be used when one no longer has the pass phrase, and cannot therefore create a revocation certificate? In my case the problem is medical: thanks to autoimmune problems, I get random memory loss from time to time. Sometimes it's big - like an entire semester of my sophomore year of college. Sometimes it's small - like three old pass phrases. So there are keys of mine floating around the key servers that I don't want used, and which are just taking up space. Others will have more mundane problems, like creating a key years ago and just plain not using it. But as PGP use moves out of essentially pure-geek communities into the surrounded net.world, accidents and other carelessness _will_ happen. I'm curious as to what thoughts, if any, y'all have about how to deal with it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQEPAwUBMO4fZH3AXR8sjiylAQHOqwfPbvjHnfM7WlbjjUrrmYQ6Diba2aJb0g2K KjsgTAZ3hyUGcnSBRsMPAb+GTkf440SRvX3JxBsRKn0X0lzHvM6ejKducQPrlJyM ter8C8kiwhZXLcNQiAVpOthrarO7qYqs9JBXmEIm2JwAXtO2SwhB8KsUxvHJpf5R v2036MQb2DSpz1VwmPw6yJYSCy5WrvyT/bRCgJ1Tukx2N0AJ3+tEBeXO9BhpwkjZ oGQPa1XtvcgUGsR1a+HKytz9RrBcgh8voXOBz3LmP1EZH0YEG0VA0a2ej/JUkwza et55dxK8LuuwOz6qo/9QJ2kyGqo641nRLowCdjXI29wITQ== =Asuu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Bruce Baugh bruceab@teleport.com http://www.teleport.com/~bruceab
