I fail to detect any solution to the man-in-the-middle attack on encryption,
unless people meet "in the flesh" to exchange encryption keys. The PGP "web
of trust" really does not solve this problem, IMO.
Until one solves this, free trade using networks lacks security. The telephone
network has this problem too, but on the Internet it becomes a major problem.
Without security, the libertarians lack the tools to conduct free trade and
speach.
Suggestions?
