Sure, but if you're using PGP for the transfer of legal documents (as, incidentally, many people/corporations, my employer included, do), you typically exchange a PGP key for that express purpose with the other person/corporation. You'd do that exchange in person, and your trust would just be "when I deal with this person/corporation virtually and things match up, I know it's the same p/c that I just exchanged keys with". > Actually, I agree with you.
