Given your key, it is possible to say for certain if the
message was composed by you. It is flagged in the form of an
icon or some other notification type. There is no other way
which is reliable. That's what digital signatures are for.
Anybody who refuses to sign or encrypt is susceptable to
fraud through social engineering, e.g. someone contacts your
ISP or boss pretending to yourself, causing you trouble or
extracting key information like passwords.

I have got this far but how do you tell I am genuine. That is the bit
I do
not understand yet?

There is a lot of information which explains the basic concepts (a two-way
authentication) in the PGP/GPG Web pages. You ought to include a link to
your key in the message headers. There is only one key for each E-mail
address and your file/webspace identifies you uniquely. In my case, for
example, the key is at: http://schestowitz.com/PGP

It can also be fetched given its identifier: 74572E8E


HAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Told you so

Pete, here's a tip mate, make sure you include your PGP key on all the
posts by your socks too


I have no clue what is happening, but surely there's some background to this
story. I never realised it was a community-type newsgroup...
