   I really like client-side SSL certificates, I just hate dealing with custom root certificates. I'm excited about using the OpenPGP web-of-trust to add a "social" layer to applications. For example: "Allow any of my friends to log in to this

    In my experience, that question is an awkward one for a surprising number of people. For some this question is awkward because they are looking for work or don't need to work. For others, this question implies that all you care about them i
