No, I definitely do not agree with that statement. Confirmed identity is the foundation of many benefits.

I imagine that you know your use of the term "self sign" is rather different from the common definition of that term as used in PKI, where it is often pejorative. Let me suggest that you drop the term "self" from that description. Hopefully we will all encourage senders to sign their messages. Thanks again for your participation. /Nelson _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
