[I tried mailing this directly to Eric Raymond, but I got a bounce message a day later.] Eric, I have read some things I think are incorrect in the FAQ you're working on. I could be wrong, of course, but I wanted to point them out to you anyway: In the introduction to PKC, you say that "the Federal Government's DES standard" is a PKC. Is there some way to view DES as a public key system that I'm not aware of? I have only seen it used as a symmetric key system. In 3a, you state that "If you encode with *your* public key...". I think you meant "with your private key...", as anyone can encode something with a public key. In 4a, "RSA stands for 'Rivest-Shamir-Adelson'"...his name is Adleman. I saw a few "more needed here's". Are you soliciting help for these, or are you just not finished with those sections yourself? Good luck, Matt
