The Expression of Interest Form asks for a PGP Public Key. What is that?
• PGP stands for Pretty Good Privacy and is an encryption mechanism. Registrars should be well educated in these technologies before they submit their EOI. Registrars must be capable of understanding and using this type of technology as a requirement for becoming a registrar as per the Certification Requirements. If they do not, they risk not being certified and losing their Application Fee. Any good web site or book addressing security issues relating to e-mail encryption should be able to answer any detailed questions.
