I don't know about Tim's idea of claiming that a key signature is a religious act. That sounds pretty bizarre to me.

I wouldn't be so certain about that. Give the CypherPunks history of treating PGP as a Holy Icon, I think a good case could be made for building a religion around key signatures. Apparently, however, not all CypherPunks can be considered 'True Believers'. I, among others, checked out the information in the anonymous post which indicated press reports of the RSA algorithm being broken. I suppose that now I will be denied the opportunity to partake of the PGP Sacrament at the next CypherMass. -- Toto "The Xenix Chainsaw Massacre" http://bureau42.base.org/public/xenix/xenbody.html
