The only problem I'm having is that it's requesting my passphrase even though I paste my full email address (with my key embedded). I assume it's for signing?

It would be very nice if it could let me choose to send it unsigned.




For throwaway/anonymous encryption, check out my other project:

Oh, it's not so much throwaway encryption as much as it is "I don't trust this webpage and don't want to enter my key in it". However, I'll have a look at the code for my own peace of mind.

EmailPK looks great, great job! I love it.

EDIT: By the way, I assume you're aware of the fact that your name is Greek for "escape"?


Please do! The code is meant to be audited, so please file any bug reports.

Also, I do indeed know my username's meaning. Isn't it closer to "slips through the cracks"?


Not exactly, it's closer to "escaping" or "eluding" in modern Greek, but it comes from dia (through) + fygi (flight), so maybe it meant "slips through the cracks" in ancient Greek. I think it meant "escape" back then too, though.
