I am discovering that many of the PGP
keyservers that I have used in the past
seem no longet to exist.

Where can I find a list of active ones?

TIA

Try my <URL:http://www.rossde.com/PGP/pgp_keyserv.html>.  But note
that I haven't updated it it since last November.

They are now all compromised to blow your privacy.
Trust none of them.

Sounds pretty bad.  Where does that leave the whole
PGP concept?

How can a keyserver be compromised? Surely all they store are public
keys.

Noo! You don't understand! They provide you with *fake* public keys to
perform a man-in-the-middle attack on e-mail addresses that they have
selected! You wouldn't even know it if you were a target of ~them~.

Only trust keys that you get from web pages and keys of which you (and
others) have verified the usenet signatures!! (not taking into account
the small list of compromised ISPs/NSPs that will blow your privacy,
including groups.google.com!!).

The keyservers check the IP address of anyone connecting and what
keys they ask for.  Then they report that to the NSA, so they have some idea
which keys are active.  Since these are in many cases people's actual
names, they know who to go for in the coming roundup of encryption users
and other "terrorist elements."  This should happen in roughly 2006.  Early
in 2006 there will be a "terrorist attack" and one element of it will be
that it will involve encryption in some dramatic way.  Then it will be outla
wed
and key escrow mandated and anyone criticizing the policy will be
considered a terrorist.  This won't just be the United States but the other
industrialized "democracies."

Sure they will get some innocent people and fail to get a lot of people with
that alone, but they have a lot of other methods too.

Methods don't have to be perfect for the conspiracy to work.

You have been warned.

Uh huh, ohhh....kaaaay. :-/

Listen, when it doesn't happen this way, do you promise to drink the
kool-aid like a good little nutcase?
