maybe i'm just stupid, but i haven't seen this discussed yet.
has anyone realized that there will be a lot of encrypted data
out there when the "general public" starts using encryption
regularly? think about it. people will pick passwords/phrases
that they *think* they'll remember when they next decide to
decrypt the file or whatever. and these are the people that
come out of shopping malls and have hard time finding where
they parked car.
how many times have you had to regen your pub/sec keys? :)
sweet & sour,
