Topic: Can FirePGP be made to support groups?
Background --
In GnuPG, there is the --group commands
which allow you to manage groups of keys,
assign a name to the group, deleting a group,
encrypt to a group.
Also, one can define lists in the GPG.CONF
file... but FireGPG ignores the gpg.conf file.
Now that I think about it, FireGPG may be
using groups internally to encrypt to multiple
keys --
1) Take all of the checked keys,
2) create a FireGPGtemp group,
3) encrypt to the FireGPGtemp group,
4) delete the FireGPGtemp group.
Request --
What I'm requesting is USER creation /
management of groups within FireGPG.
I would suggest to continue to ignore
gpg.conf, unless it makes more sense
to read for established groups, and
update gpg.conf with the updated group
lists.
Usage Example --
For example, I communicate on an
encryption list with 40 members and
40 different pubkeys. It would be
VERY helpful to create a keygroup
for PGPLIST within FireGPG, to be
able to --
-- manage the keys contained in
the group, and
-- encrypt to that group (which
would be chosen by the email
address of the list).
Thank you for allowing me to suggest
a new feature for FireGPG.
Peace,
