Hi, Recently, my email address was hijacked, and used to send a virus to an address with a .ru domain. This has sparked my interest in signing my email. Having used PgP on Windows, my understanding of the way this all works is... I install the necessary software to digitally sign my email, and upload the public key to a keyserver. I then sign my email, and anyone wanting to verify my identity looks up the public key, assures themselves that it is really me, and then downloads the key to their keyring. Persons who are sure that this key belongs to me can sign the key, as well. Then, persons can then be reasonably sure that email containing my digital signature actually came from me. Am I close enough in my understanding? I found http://kmail.kde.org/kmail-pgpmime-howto.html Is this the definitive HOWTO for signing email in KMail, or is there a better reference out there for KMail in FC1? I'm not opposed to compliing the software as the above page indicates, but I have a "Personal Desktop" installation of FC1, and wonder if I have the compiler installed? -- Charles Howse Jackson, TN Fedora Core 1 Uptime: 1 day, 7:57
