This is where we differ. I generally trust people until they abuse
my trust. Call me naïv or anything, but it's been a good life so far
on that track.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to have key signed.
When I give my passport to a DD, I really trust (and hope) that
he will not run away with my pass.

Anyway should I certify that you are our madduck@debian.org or one
of the "martin f krafft" in the world?

I really see few people that check identity AND the email (people tend
to sign all key-identity of a key).

How to do this check in a reliable and completely secure way?
(I think that a man on the middle attack is always possible).

PS: undecided about mass key signing party. I didn't participate, so
I cannot judge the reliability.
