Oh, I bet you won't have much of a nice future in
North Korea, Iraq, maybe China, and some other countries

if you insist on possessing a secret key.
That position has never been taken in any internet security protocol
that I have heard.
Because most security protocols are to be used voluntarily and not
with strangers. They are "can use if you want" but not "must use"
protocols.
But here we are talking about protocols that virtually
_everybody_ on the world using the internet (and e-mail is a essential
part of internet use, isn't it?) will have to adopt.
Is there any other internet security protocol that has gone so
far?
