Copious apologies if this is old news, but I just got a chance to read some mags from the last few weeks: An article in *The Economist* (August 5th-11th 1995 p56) reports that the United States Postal Service has plans to offer *electronic certificates of identity encoded to prevent forgery* It goes on to say that they are working with the usual suspects (Microsoft and Lotus/IBM) to get appropriate software included in their products. Future services include timestamping, multimedia kiosks in post office lobbies and e-mail print out and delivery services (for the connectivity challenged). I guess this puts a new twist on saying that PGP is an envelope for your e-mail. ------- Greg Anders tweetpunk@aol.com To have loved and lost liked Patsy Cline, it is better to have never loved at all.
