Quote from: AlistairCook on January 18, 2013, 02:49 pmWhats wrong with using your real name?If you post a PGP key, anyone who downloads that key can see what is on it. That includes the police, who doubtless harvest all the keys posted here. If your key shows that you name is John Smith and your email address is jsmith@yahoo.com, then the authorities can get your IP address pretty easily. Your IP address, coupled with the dates/times of your logins, reveals your ISP. Yahoo gives the police the IP addresses, and the dates/times of the logins. The IP address leads to the ISP, let's say Comcast. Comcast informs the police that the subscriber information for this account is: John Smith123 Main StreetBurlington, VermontNow do you see where there's a problem?
