Are you worried about the attacker using fake email messages in order to steal keys? With email, it isn't much harder to become an active attacker than a passive one. To mitigate that you are going to want to avoid self decrypting archives. Is money an issue? If not it might more sense to have a separate computer on his end that is always connected to the internet that you manage. Than you can exchange files on that machine with yours and he doesn't have to worry about it. He can read files you drop off and save files he creates for you to pick up. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
