The Usenix key signing is a good model for techie types, but we are the minority. How would the great unwashed have their keys signed?
This looks like a business opportunity. I think it may make sense for somebody to establish a nation wide network of Public Notaries who'd be certifying that the physical person has this-and-that document (drivers license, etc) and has that key. A central office would maintain a registry of personal keys. We all could use the registry to verify the signatures. Such certification could cost something like $10 per key. I'd certainly be willing to pay that much to have a certified key. Given the potential customer base of 20-50 million, that would make a nice business case. - --vadim -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6 iQCVAgUBMtcm6kDODjim2XUVAQEAzAP/VwfOex0ZonDepPv0xHVpB4A5ZG06DfZ7 O1BZqFzEGwvkjcsubuaE8FoOIZX6Mp26lCWM5G7VJkDCPVILjn9/ZzyB2gU+qZD1 HOGmkAf92V/EG8VfuIQSVIP9DuEwtd3FGJ4NkQyNIyi+ZrheYXTnE/mpNX+TqVDl aU7yPfmDbHE= =nVVX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ..
