 I submitted PGP.com's PGP keys to the keyservers... oder die Frage, warum PGP.com seinen eigenen Schlüssel nicht auf die dafür vorgesehenen Server stellt.
PGP 8.0 is out!-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
 
 The story began, when the new PGP Corporation launched their new PGP 8.0
 
 I immediatley fetched the sourcecode, and wanted to compile it. I opened the .zip archive, and found another .zip archive and a nice digital signature included. So I wanted to very that signature:
 
 > gpg PGP800-S-W-Inner.zip.sig
 gpg: Unterschrift vom Die 03 Dez 2002 00:04:46 CET, DSA Schlüssel ID E8F99DB2
 gpg: Schlüssel E8F99DB2 von search.keyserver.net wird angefordert ...
 gpg: Keine gültigen OpenPGP-Daten gefunden.
 gpg: Anzahl insgesamt bearbeiteter Schlüssel: 0
 gpg: Unterschrift kann nicht geprüft werden: Öffentlicher Schlüssel nicht gefunden
 
 I went to http://www.keyserver.net/, http://www.pgp.com/ and http://www.google.at/ but I could not find the KeyID anywhere ...
 
 So I went to the Support Website from PGP, and tried to contact the people there.
 
 I was a bit puzzled, having to see that the form asked me a lot of personal questions, and they do not even use HTTPS/SSL/TLS to encrypt my personal data!
 
 I guess that my contact got lost, because I only received an error message, which didn't make me feel comfortable too: error '800c0005' /SubsAndFunctions.asp, line 47
 After some more searching for the Public Key of PGP.com, I found it:
 
 Key ID  Name and Certificates  Size
 E8F99DB2 PGP Corporation Software Release Key 8.0.X
 Fingerprint =
 5343 AD1A 95CC 5593 D090 ECB3 5636 72C6 E8F9 9DB2 FC51 616E
 E8F99DB2 PGP Corporation Software Release Key 8.0.X
 CF73EC4C Will Price  <wprice@pgp.com>
 B2D7795E Philip R. Zimmermann  <prz@mit.edu>
 
 
 So I went on, and submitted the key into my local keyring and to the keyservers on http://www.keyserver.net/
 
 And I got the following response:
 
 -----
 Thank you for submitting your public keys to this server.
 
 Results of your submission:
 
 Your submission has been added to the key server database.
 New public keys added : 1
 New identifiers (userid's) added : 1
 New certificates added : 4
 -----
 
 So, I will have a look at the sourcecode now, and keep you informed about my findings ...
