Notes:
Marking the release of http://pkyp.org a new no nonsense Public Key directory, this allows you register your public keys and certificates on a public server. If you have web applications with certificates or public keys you can point your users at http://pkyp.org/{key.digest} for more info about a certificate.
Register a public key or certificate at PKYP with the new method register_with_pkyp like this:
signer=EzCrypto::Signer.generate
signer.verifier.register_with_pkyp
If you have the public key or certificate digest you can fetch the full public key or certificate like this:
verifier=EzCrypto::Verifier.from_pkyp "e93e18114cbefaaa89fda908b09df63d3662879a"
verifier.verify sig, request_text
This allows a simpler way of transfering certificates. The idea of including certificates with every request is not really necessary in an online world. For example you could pass the digest in a HTTP header for a REST web services request.
