Would you like PGP functions to be added to the site?

I like this poll'
-------------------- Difficulty has more to do with reading abillity and ability to precisely follow directions. You need no knowledge of chemistry whatsoever, you just need to understand some basic principles as simple in concept as: water boils at 100C and freezes at 0C. Otherwise all published syntheses of organic and inorganic compounds can be reproduced successfully by pretty nearly anyone with at least average intelligence. Problems always have to do with availability of materials, not esoteric knowledge.

Yep private messages can be encrypted automatically, provided a user provides their public key in their profile somewhere afaik
Do you mean adding it site wide filamentous? For posting? I can't see how that would make sense,

No this is wrong. Here's a quote from ythan about how they have access to the private key and could potentially see your messages despite claiming that are deleted
Quote:
We tried to streamline the process for people who aren't familiar with PGP, or encryption in general. That means we have to include functionality to decrypt secure PMs and display them on the site. In order to do this, we temporarily need a copy of your private key. People shouldn't be sending us a private key they use for other purposes, so they'd want to create a new one for the Shroomery anyway. We just handle all that behind the scenes so people don't have to download and learn to use PGP. If your main concern is only receiving encrypted private messages, there's an option for supporters under basic preferences to "accept private messages from other users" and you can set it to "secure only". Other than that I'm not really sure why you say the functionality "isn't very good". It's about as simple and straightforward as it can be while still remaining reasonably secure. Did you have any other specific complaints?
