-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
This is the PUBLIC_KEYS Echo. The purpose of the Echo is to provide a
place to discuss public-keys for data privacy within FidoNet and
elsewhere. We also consider electronic signature possibilities using
public-keys and discuss data and software encryption and the various
schemes and programs that produce them.
This is a technical Echo with very few rules. Those very few rules are:
1. Stay on-topic. Topics of keys and encryption and related privacy
and electronic signature issues are welcome. Others are not.
2. No politics [except as it relates to privacy issues] and no
religion.
3. No personal attacks, slurs or innuendo. Stick to issues not
personalities.
4. No Private flagged messages in Echomail! Encrypted traffic using
public-keys is permitted for the exercise so long as it is on-topic.
Don't send person-specific encrypted traffic. Such specific traffic
belongs in direct Netmail. Encrypted traffic should be in the form
of ASCII-armored or personal key encrypted messages that can be read
by anyone with PGP 2.6+ and your public-key. Include your public-key
in a separate message before sending such test messages in case the
other end doesn't have it or make them aware of how to get it from
your system. If you just want to post your public-key, use PKEY_DROP
Echo.
5. Clear-signed messages are not encrypted and may be used freely in
this Echo.
6. This Echo may be traveling around the world so try to be concise.
Avoid excessive quoting for one-liner responses.
7. Be aware that Echomail is NOT secure. Don't take anything at face
value.
8. The posts in this Echo are the sole responsiblity of the poster. If
you need verification, use Netmail.
9. The Moderators will deal with off-topic traffic. Don't respond for
them. Links to this Echo will only be curtailed when absolutely
necessary so please don't make it necessary. [grin]
The Moderators are Christopher Baker [KeyID: 2048/D881B549 1995/06/29]
and GK Pace [KeyID: 2048/B604EBE9 1995/06/29] at 1:374/14 and 1:374/26,
respectively.
It is Gated into Zone 2 by Jens Mueller at 2:24/24 who sends it on to
Harry Bush at 2:51/2. Consult Jens or Harry for Zone 2 feeds. The Echo
is gated into Zone 3 by Jackson Harding at 3:800/857. [thanks, guys!]
The other Zones are open [hint, hint].
It is recommended that individual, public-keys be made available via
Netmail or by file-request with the magic filename: PGPKEY and that the
public-key provided for that request by given a distinctive filename
using part or all of each provider's name and address. For example, on
my system, a file-request of PGPKEY will give BAK37414.ASC to the
requesting system. A magic filename of KEYRING will yield extracts from
my Public Keyring as BAKPUB14.ASC. This will avoid duplicate overwriting
and make it easier to track the keys. Using standard magic filenames
will make it easier to find keys and keyrings on different systems.
The PGP and Privacy and encryption related files on each system should
be maintained with a magic filename for file request. PGPFILES should be
set on all participating systems to allow your current related files to
be picked up at any time. It is suggested that the actual filename
indicate the origin of the list to avoid confusion and overwriting.
PGPFILES requested from this system gets the requestor a file called:
PGP37414.LST.
The contents of this Echo are archived on 1:374/14 as the area is
purged. The current past traffic is in the file PUBKEY.ECO. Archives
are no longer kept due to space constraints.
This Echo is currently available on the Zone 1 Backbone. It has been
EListed since ELIST211. Please feel free to announce this Echo in all
Nets and Networks.
A companion Echo for the purpose of submitting public-keys only is now
available as PKEY_DROP Echo. PKEY_DROP may be obtained via the same
channels as PUBLIC_KEYS.
NOTE:
If you lose your secret-key password [or forget it] or your secret-key
in a drive crash [because you failed to back it up on floppy], you
cannot issue a revocation certificate. In that case, you should make a
general announcement in all related Echos that your old key should be
disabled using the PGP disable command [PGP -kd userid] for your userid.
That keeps your useless key on their keyrings [so they won't be replaced
from other lists who didn't get the word] and permits them to add a new
key from you without one interfering with the other. BACKUP! BACKUP!
BACKUP! [clear?] [grin]
Thanks.
TTFN.
