Good stuff Dino. Although I got it right off...apparently some others didn't quite catch it as well.

A for effort though.

I'll consider a tutorial and see what we don't already have; one problem is, PKI, PKE, and the PGP program are not the same. PKI is the idea of an infrastructure that makes S/MIME and other certificates possible. PGP is an actual program. It's like writing a tutorial for network vulnerability assessments. Do you write it on the general practice and theory of scanning, probing, etc., or do you write it on Nessus?

I'll do some thinking and maybe write something up.

Hey dinowuff, that explanation ROCKED! I'm not really sure what Billy liking the girl had to do with it, but it was still very easy to understand! ;-D

Thanks all for the replies, and please let me know if you write a tut, zencoder!

Actually, Billy represents the parties that may see a communication between the end points. Anyone who you do not want to share the message with. "In the cloud" or "on the wire", if you will. In the first exchange, he opened the lunchbox to represent how the message contents are not secure without a lock (lock==encryption).

Tutorial...more of a description, really...is in the works.
