---------- Forwarded message ----------
With the advent of several different ways to encrypt & Sign pgp messages,
i'd like to know if it might be a good idea to specify a preffered "method"
which should be used in "answering" an encoded message.
An example (using pgp 5.0 & Eudora Plug-in):
1.A encrypts & signs a message with RSA and sends it to B.
2.B decodes the message, and writes a reply to A's message
3.When message is processed by eudora/pgp a problem arises....A has two
public keys..A RSA key and a DH/DSS key...which one should be used..?
(one can decide to use both keys, and leave it up to A to decode...however
A may "prefer" one method...)
Thus, if it would be possible to encorporate a "preferred
encrytion/signing method" then the selection of which key/encrytion method
might
be able to be done automatically...
I mentioned this a while ago to the folks at pgp, and would be interested
in hearing what the mailing list thinks...
