Hey all! Just a simple question out of curiosity; i see pgp signed mails going round in the mailing list, but where do you keep your public keys, and how am i supposed to get them? Does the mailing list have its own keybase, or do you just sign your messages to look cool :)
In my case, there are a number of places you can get my public key: - - My personal blog - - My Keybase profile - - Almost any key server - - You can just ask me for it I suspect most people provide their keys in a similar fashion with most simply placing their keys on public key servers. As for /why/ I sign my mails, I started signing mails after someone decided to spoof a few fairly important emails from me. I consistantly sign mails - even unimportant mail, to show a reliable pattern. I do this even for mail to people I know don't use PGP because, if there is ever a question about a piece of mail, I can /prove/ that I sent it if I have to (I can walk them through downloading and installing PGP and validating my signature, and (while much LESS valuable and reliable) I can give people, even those who don't use PGP, a sense that I /did not/ send a piece of mail if it is not signed. It has nothing to do with looking cool.
