> Well, X has published a public key (sometimes called a "fingerprint") I don't think this is quite the correct terminology. A public key, in ascii form, looks like —–BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK—– Version: 2.6.2 mQCNAy8GFvAAAAEEAKJk5teKAWl45fKiy/KfAgZCfZ4FTi7S58LLZjzt05OcjFrm F2cuya0qzl1NOF06kZW0d3Yj/ZO9hPpqyomVvzDMZxXCezIh2T1f6s8iZ55nJEzx aflsfUDr8LOzpTHl8murzBfmAvFKHl2+rfNsYarZGhq0p+akKtdQ+YB8kXppAAUR tDdNaWNoYWVsIEUuIFNoZWEgPJswIHabMCB2mzAgdjc2NjY1LDMzNjBAY29tcHVz ZXJ2ZS5jb20+ =z429 —–END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK—– While a fingerprint looks like. Key fingerprint = 8A 68 FC 8C 14 50 73 B4 D3 D6 80 08 97 BC 8C EC While I believe a public will generate a unique fingerprint, I don't believe a fingerprint can be used to derive the public key. ._ _ _ INTERNET: mshea@math.arizona.edu | | |ichael _>hea COMPUSERVE: 76665,3360
