Rob Knop's OpenPGP Keys
These keys are for use with the freely available OpenPGP program "GNU Privacy Guard", which is alternatively known as GPG or GnuPG (in varying conventions of case). They will work with GnuPG, and should also work with PGP 5 and PGP 6. Do avoid using the IDEA cipher, which is not supported by GnuPG for patent reasons.
Some of the E-mail addresses on these keys are no longer valid. Please use robert.a.knop@vanderbilt.edu for work and scentific related matters. rknop@pobox.com is my personal address.
Primary Key
This is my "primary key". I do keep the secret key on a shared system, though naturally that file is not world readable, and I certainly haven't shared my passphrase with anybody. Please use this for most communication, as it should be "secure enough". I do have an Anal Key, but the very things that make that key more secure make it more inconvenient for me to use.

Anal Retentive Key
I only keep the secret component of this key on a floppy I have at home. This means that it takes some work for me to read files encrypted with it, as I have to get the files to the right computer, take that computer off the net, mount the floppy, etc. etc. etc. Please don't use this key unless you really need the extra security. For most communication, my Primary Key is probably quite secure.
