Phil Z doesn´t know how to do it himself, at least with PGP.
He told me that he doesn´t sign people´s keys who ask for
it, simply because
it would pollute his keyring on his computer, and he
couldn´t work with a
keyring with thousands of people on it anymore.
So PGP obviously has a usability and scalability problem.
So he only signs the keys of his friends because of that.
I wonder now, why he didn´t tried to solve that
usability/scalability problem
himself yet, but gave up instead.
Best regards,
Philipp Gühring
