It is part of the signing process to convert dash-dash-space to dash-space-dash-dash-space (on a line and alone).
I know I have read an explanation of why this is done, but I don't remember where.
It sounds very dodgy for the contents to be altered by the signing program.
I cannot see that signing verification is of much use except with contract and/or financial dealings.
And PGP signing is not used for any of those: they want a system with a certification authority (and one they trust). PGP is a kind of renegade thing (that's not the word I want, but it will do).
Yes and no - it's all about trust, and in the end you've got to trust someone. There's nothing "renegade" about e.g. gnupg, it's development was even funded by two Federal German Ministries. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Privacy_Guard -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
