I hate to prolong this thread, but on a new point Vesselin raised, if the patent or munitions act violation were possession and use of PGP in the U.S., the restitution is to get rid of it. Posting a key is not itself a violation but indicative of one, and thus a PGP-signed cancellation won't cure the violation. It would just worsen it, since one would have to use PGP to create the revocation certificate. David
