Comment on Facebook doing MITM attack on your email.parent

Comments

I notice that your HN profile and your personal home page give an email address, but no public key.

On the other hand, a quick search on the MIT keyserver reveals:

http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0xD...

...which 99% of the internet have never heard of. I was using PGP in 1992 and I had either forgotten or never known there was a public keyserver at MIT.

99% of the Internet has never heard of cryptography, either. But among the 1% that has, the same 1% knows about keyservers. (The keyservers generally sync with each other, so you don't have to use MIT's keyserver. It is just the one that I happen to use.)

...making it the best spam filter yet discovered
