Could you elaborate? I don't use Facebook.


Facebook has a field in your profile settings that you can upload your public key. The purpose is to encrypt the email notifications they send to you.


In Facebook's settings you can paste a PGP public key. Notification emails sent to you by Facebook will then be encrypted using that key.


Interesting! Thanks for the explanation.


Another useful feature is you can opt to have the same key publicly displayed on your Faceook profile page.
