Perry E. Metzger originally said the following...
I'll also note, yet again, that unless PGP quits this bad practice of identifying counterparties only by a number, it is NOT going to be universally deployed. Counterparties need to be identified by a name that can be looked up in the DNS -- meaning "joe@foo.com" rather than some key ident number.
Doesn't having some kind of central record of keys go against the principle of PGP? Unless you're just talking about having a name attached to each key, but not exactly a DNS for key id's... I'll admit I'm a little confused. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greg Morgan <mac5tgm@hibbs.vcu.edu> | "I dunno Brain, me and Pipi Mail me for PGP Key: 0xE0D222A9 | Longstocking?
