An interesting new use for PGP. The following is from News.Com:

"A Chicago programmer is launching a service he says will strip
child porn and pirated software out of Usenet for ISPs that want
to protect themselves from prosecutors' raids."

[...]

"Once the service is up and running, it would require anybody
wanting to post a binary file to the Clean News feed to register
with a central identify - verification organization. This body
would issue Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) keys traceable back to the
user, which would be used as a kind of license to post through
Clean News."

The complete story is available at:
