Title: [Q] PGP key signing/ Sign Message Post by: agustina2 on September 17, 2015, 01:23:32 PM Good day to all!
Well I saw some high ranks here in some threads that when they signing a message they have a term like PGP Key in their format and all include there is different from normal signing I see in Sir Shorena's thread "how to sign a message". Where they signed this format? Hope you all got my point. :) Thank you.

With reasonably long keys it is still believed to be safe even though its from the early 90s[2]. It was in fact so strong that the US government tried to outlaw the export of PGP software as a weapon, that part known as the crypto wars[3]. Where a signature for a bitcoin address can ensure you that you are dealing with someone in control of certain coins a PGP key lets you be certain that you are writing with exactly that person and no one else as long as you trust that person.

I thought that was easy as signing in the normal way. Thanks for dropping by here! |
