      True, sadly not many people show up for my key signing parties, even if I serve three kinds of chips.

      Only if you trust the device your decrypting on. Wouldn’t trust windows or Mac with information that could put me in jail.

      Madcow – While you are not wrong, we are talking about the unwashed masses here who are not necessarily savvy. “Private chat” really should have been.

          Sorry, i don’t find it anymore in all the white noise about france being anti encryption. It was about a group of teens being detained on the grounds of mere suspection for using and promoting encrypted messaging, online privacy, using tor and so on, painting that fact as a crime.
