There is no way to know the "encrypter", everyone can send you an encrypted message without revealing his identity. Or do you mean the key IDs of the intended recipients (there are often more than one)? > If I would to fake the identity of someone, I just have to forge the > from and encrypt with some key. The only way to *guess* the "encrypter" is to look at the signature if the message is signed and encrypted. But there is no way to protect against someone who send you an encrypted message by catching a signed one and adding the encryption layer. If you want to send a message and tell the recipient that _you_ have encrypted it, write a note about this into the message, sign and encrypt. Ciao, Werner
