I have a desire to build a second, shorter key to use alongside my normal
key for casual e-mail.
I would therefore like to be able to have my key identified by a key ID
(perhaps the MD5 of the public key) rather than my e-mail address or
any distinguished name 1:1 with an e-mail address.
What would this take?
If we were to experiment within RIPEM, for example, would it violate protocol
if I were to add a line ahead of the current Recipient info, e.g.:
Recipient-MD5: 39D9860686A9F075A9A83D49589C677A
Recipient-Name: cme(_at_)sw(_dot_)stratus(_dot_)com
Key-Info: RSA,
