[openpgp] ECDH and ELG-E primary keys

2014-08-01 12:43:57
A quick note re exportable public keys. Apparently the SKS keyservers
will accept(?) ECDH or ELG-E primary public keys:

See, e.g., 
http://pool.sks-keyservers.net/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x13A7A60EF2AC27BC
or http://pool.sks-keyservers.net/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE7E4C6E20CF902B7

(But there are only 6 examples of these in total... Does anyone know
what software can use them?)

This seems like a sensible deviation from the RFC to me; the benefits
of signing an ECDH or ELG-E key intended solely for (somewhat)
deniable encryption are minimal.
