Instant messaging

I'm sick of using those commercial, Windows centered, non-standardized clients resp. protocols. That's why I'm using Jabber.
My Jabber-ID is srf@swissjabber.ch (and no, this is not an e-Mail address).

SPAM problems and what I do against them

The many SPAM messages I received on my old address urge me to handle my new addresses more carefully. If you enter your e-mail address below you'll receive an e-mail containing my address. Your address will be entered in a password protected database only for my own use. I will neither use it for any advertisement nor give it to third parties.

Privacy & Security

I prefer using GnuPG which works with OpenPGP keys to sign and encrypt. I have different keys for different addresses / purposes:

You can download an use the keys here. But before you can trust them you have to verify over a trusted channel (phone / meeting / web of trust) that they really belong to me and that I'm the owner and under control of the according secret keys.

The same problem holds for keys you download from wwwkeys.ch.pgp.net which I use as default keyserver.

More SPAM related information

Lists of millions of e-mail addresses are beeing sold for people who want to send advertisement mails. Once your e-mail address is on such a list you won't succeed to stop the spam, also known as unsolicited commercial email, coming in.
There are different ways your address can be registered. One possibility is that you registered somewhere for an account and provided your address. What the other party, the provider of the account or whatever, does with your address is beyound your control. So decide wisely before you trust a site. An other way is that a program which searches the web for e-mail addresses (a so called spider, crawler, bot, ...) found your address on a web site and inserted it into a database.
So only give your address to trusted parties and never put it on a website.
