Why does anyone need his public key to communicate with Senator Leahy? If it's for sender-anonymity, this does not do it, though other tools (remailers) do.

I can think of two good reasons for Senator Leahy to publish his key: (1) To show his support for the right to use encryption. (2) To sign open letters to the Internet community. I will be really impressed when he gets some big-name signatures on his key. e.g. Matt Blase, Ron Rivist, PRZ, Tim May. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bill Frantz | The CDA means | Periwinkle -- Computer Consulting (408)356-8506 | lost jobs and | 16345 Englewood Ave. frantz@netcom.com | dead teenagers | Los Gatos, CA 95032, USA
