Security Features of this Site:

All pages in this site should have a PGP signature as the bottom comment of the page. This is done for the purpose of verifying the contents of the pages are exactly what was set down by the author, and to verify the identity of the author.

To confirm the contents of any of these pages follow these steps:

  1. View the document source of the page from your browser.
  2. Copy the document source into your favorite text editor.
  3. Remove the "<!" from the beginning of the first line of the document.
  4. Remove the ">" from the end of the first line of the document.
    1. The first line should now read "-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----".
  5. Remove the "<!" from the start of the line, near the bottom of the document which reads "<!-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----".
  6. Remove the ">" from the last line of the document.
    1. The last line should now read "-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----".
  7. IMPORTANT!!! Make sure these are the only changes you make to the document.
  8. Save the document.
  9. Add my public key to your PGP keyring.

You can now test the authenticity of the document using PGP version 2.6 or higher.

If this document does not authorize O.K. please disregard any and all information in the document, and if possible please send me a message informing me of the problem.

If this makes little or no sense to you here's where you can go for additional information on the subjects:
The Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF): Information on why security steps such as these would be taken.
M.I.T.'s PGP Page: A starting point on for information on Pretty Good Privacy, the standard in public encryption software.

To make myself much more 21st century I now use Gnu Public Key Encryption (as I'm told that PGP is so very 90's.) See GNU Privacy Guard page for more information.

Just as a final note, it is important to understand that even with these security precautions no system is unbreakable. Aside from the traditional security weaknesses there are indications that it may be possible to break 1024 bit encryption. See Quantum Computing for additional information.

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
