Without having you public key, there is no way we can check your sig.

Post your public key. That way we can check if your post is properly
signed.

Go into your PGPkey ring and find the key you signed this post with.

Copy it via CTRL+C

Paste into your next post, below your signed post.

I'm no expert in this, but this will work.

I was able to verify the signature using PGP 8.0.3.

After selecting the window containing the original message, I requested
[Current Window > Decrypt & Verify]. Of course, that failed; but the
failure message indicated the key ID. Using that key ID, I then
requested PGP to find a key on kerckhoffs.surfnet.nl (my chosen public
key server), which I then imported onto my keyring. Again requesting
[Current Window > Decrypt & Verify], the message was verified against
its signature.

The verification indicated the key was invalid, but that was expected
since I did not sign the key.

Ok, after a small break, I finally figured it out and got the key
imported, but I still can't figure out how to add
kerckhoffs.surfnet.nl to my server list on PGP8.0.3. I'll figure it
out sooner or later, but if you want to help, thank you, thank you,

1. Launch PGP. If the icon appears in your taskbar tray, right-click
and select PGPkeys.

2. On the PGP menu bar, select [Edit > Options].

3. On the PGP Options window, select the Servers tab.

4. On the Servers tab, select the New button.

5. On the Add New Server window:
a. Select PGP Keyserver HTTP on the pull-down selection
for Type.
b. Enter kerckhoffs.surfnet.nl in the Name area.
c. Enter 1137 in the Port area.
d. Leave the rest of the items unchanged.

6. Select OK buttons on the Add New Server window and then on
the PGP Options window.

To use kerckhoffs.surfnet.nl to find a key, select the magnifying glass
icon (Open key search window) on the PGP tool bar.

You might mean that the said "rubbish", not "rabbish".

Rubbish in this case would mean "worthless material". Meaning, there
is no reason to be filling an ordinary Usenet posting with such
*rubbish* as a PGP signed message.

In a way they are right. One of the few times I would want to see a
PGP signed file posted to Usenet is if the person is one who is noted
for giving good technical advice in a group. Before I would follow
the advice, I'd like to make sure it is truly him and not some jerk
trying to cause my computer problems with some very bad advice.

I am just guessing what the word you supplied, "rabbish", might have
meant.

I included all that I found in the reply. I do find rubbish like that in
your signature, but not as part of your message.
I am viewing your post via the slrn newsreader on a Linux system ( and
clearly it strips off the signature from the reply, since that is not
here and I did not strip it.) As I said, it is probably some bug in
their newsreader, or email reader that, improperly handles a pgp file.

It may be that their reader is assuming that your message was
encrypted and thus used your public key to decrypt the message
(except of course they encrypted it) or that they thought that the
wohole thing was your signature.

The only 'rubbish' in the sig file what you put there as an example to
make your question more clear.

Stop adding that middle part in. Just send us a message containing a
single sentence. Do NOT add anything else into the message. Then sign
it and post it.

You might mean that the said "rubbish", not "rabbish".
Rubbish in this case would mean "worthless material". Meaning, there
is no reason to be filling an ordinary Usenet posting with such
*rubbish* as a PGP signed message.
In a way they are right. One of the few times I would want to see a
PGP signed file posted to Usenet is if the person is one who is noted
for giving good technical advice in a group. Before I would follow
the advice, I'd like to make sure it is truly him and not some jerk
trying to cause my computer problems with some very bad advice.
I am just guessing what the word you supplied, "rabbish", might have
meant.

During a very heated but on-topic discussion in a newsgroup, someone
started posting messages under my name and E-mail address, expressing
opinions quite the opposite of my real opinions. I immediately started
to PGP-sign all my messages in that newsgroup. I ended each message
with a warning about the forgeries and advising the other participants
to verify my signatures on any message that appeared to be from me. The
forger (there was only one person) soon quit his impersonation of me,
but I continued to PGP-sign my messages in that newsgroup until the
issue under discussion was decisively concluded. All this happened some
14 years ago. Since then, such a situation never again arose for me.

When the US-CERT used to announce new virus attacks or other computer
vulnerabilities in the comp.security.announce newsgroup (which is now
defunct), those announcements were PGP-signed so that users could
authenticate the messages. After all, there are plenty of false
announcements of bogus malware, a few of which can be more destructive
than malware itself.

That was exactly my point as to when such is necessary. I kinda hang
in a couple of groups of tekkies giving out software help. It is not
unusual for some idiot forger to use one of the names of a respected
and knowledgeable member of that group in order to give harmful
advice.

Again - exactly a necessary use of PGP signing.
