Title: [REQ] GPG system
Post by: whiskers75 on November 27, 2013, 04:34:49 PM
Add a way to publish GPG keys, that can't be changed without a revocation cert?
That way, hacked accounts can regain easily.

Are hacked accounts that much of a problem?  Also, if someone's account was hacked it's probably because they didn't practice good security procedures and won't know how to use GPG either.

My account got hacked.
I used secure procedures.
I use GPG.

I think there was an unofficial system a while back, Post it in services and lock the thread, and make sure you use the Tamper-Evident seal. (Yellow box icon). I do not know how to get the icon, but some people do. If you edit it, the icon goes away, revealing it was tampered with.

Seems like a good idea to me, I hope the PGP system will be implemented as soon as possible.
