What is this?
-------------
These are the current public PGP keys for the anonymous remailers.  You'll
need these keys installed on your public keyring to be able to use Private
Idaho for sending encrypted mail to a remailer.  (This means you encrypt
your message with the remailer's public key before sending it.  The
remailer then decrypts upon receipt, and sends the decrypted text to
the address indicated.)

Run the INSTALL.BAT file to install them on your public key ring.

None of the keys have been certified.  PGP will beep and display a message
indicating so when you encrypt with one of the keys.

You can avoid the beeps and messages by certifying the keys yourself on
installation to your public key ring.


A word about trust
------------------
The remailer keys came from Matthew Ghio <ghio@cmu.edu> via:

	mg5n+remailer-list@andrew.cmu.EDU

I moved them into individual files for easy installation.

If you are really concerned about the security of your mail messages, I
would take the time to get copies of the fingerprints and keys
directly from the remailer operators (usually included when you request
help about the remailer).  Then compare them with these keys, that
you've already installed.

While I generally trust Matt's information, and you likely trust me making
it easier for you to install, take obvious precautions if you are dealing
with sensitive information.
