Re: Shortcomings of current schemes (Was: One-pass signatures)

A long time ago (07-26-98 16:34) from someone far away (William H. Geiger 
III):

As it is today it would be easy for my employer and/or government to keep
copies of all communication that enters and leaves their network; that
information could be used to create a "map" of my network of friends. If
we were all using PGP they wouldn't be able to read what we write, and it
would be very easy to set up and use some kind of remailer; but even if
we were to do all that they still would be able to create that "map" by
searching all e-mails for our signatures.

If you don't want your signature retained on a document then don't sign it!!

Maybe you misunderstod me; what I meant to say was that haveing the 
message
clearsigned and then encrypted (without a second signing) is something 
that
will make it more secure.
