What OpenPGP IMHO liked to solve is to use public key cryptography for the masses, where every Joe user average can communicate with strangers globally and somehow knowing that person X is maybe person X, when using the classic WoT. Question would be, do we really need this? For business purposes, I would not need this and for private use only also not much. Do we really need cryptography at all? It seems we need it very badly because our devices, networks, and communities are very insecure. In the USA we had a huge political schism in the past few years. People do things. Governments do things. Businesses do things. These things work so simply, because precautions are not taken. But that's always been the case. Citizens get simple locks that any locksmith can pick. Anybody can train to be a locksmith and open every door. On the internet, knowledge has traveled much faster and wider than it has in the past. P.S. I suggest also in this regard to take a look, in case you have Rust installed, at sequoia-pgp, which also allows you to create a key pair without a UID, bit AFAIK GnuPG can not handle such pub keys currently. yeah thanks. I imagine pro gpg'ers know what's up, I don't really. just was verifying some media.
