Gudena, There are a wide number of groups that use PGP/GPG for just this purposes--in the global CSIRT community (www.first.org), it is the "defacto" secure communications method. The CERT Program has been utilizing this method for secure communications since the very early releases of PGP (even back to PEM [privacy enhanced mail]) to the GPG versions :) Many of the CSIRT community now have our business cards printed with our fingerprints right on the card to aid in extending our web of trust in that community. georgia Gudena, Chandragupta wrote:
