There is only one thing missing here Who controlls the 509 certs.. Everyone seems to miss that companies pay Microslop to include them as trusted CA providers.. Yes.. 75k to get trusted and 10K per year to stay trusted.. I have been using pgp/gpg for years.. it works fine.. I use it to encrypt my hard disk and confidential mail to my friends.. Fred
someone always get them back.. for years I have returned unsolicited mail in the "return envelope" they suppy. I simply stuff anything I can into the envelopes (including AOL cd's) and drop them back in the mail. Sometimes you have to wait till you get an envelope big enough, or sometimes you have to tape the envelope to a package, but it all goes back. I do everything I can to increase their advertising cost, in hopes it will someday stop (I know dream on). They made the agreement with the USPO to pay the return postage not me. I just wish I could figure out a way to return spam to the rightfull owner..
The real solution to the problem is to never get a credit card. Turn off external access to your checking account at your bank.. use cash.. the real currency, not the made up tender called credit.. you will also have much more cash in your pocket.. I applaud giving out the numbers.. perhaps more people will cancel their cards.. and lock their bank accounts..
