Good comments there and a good reminder about digital signing...


Just to clear up one confusing bit of confusion, especially so for
dyslexic acronyms!

There was firstly "PGP" which is now PGP the company:

http://www.symantec.com/business/theme.jsp?themeid=pgp


There is "OpenPGP":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy#OpenPGP


And there is also GPG:

The GNU Privacy Guard
GnuPG is the GNU project's complete and free implementation of the
OpenPGP standard as defined by RFC4880
http://www.gnupg.org/


Confused?!

Anyone game to give a talk to explain?

Cheers,
Martin
