Could you explain in more detail? Why doesn't OpenBSD need to use pgp keys? Really, I'm not trying to start anything, I just want to understand. Especially since everyone else seems to do it. FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux Kernel, etc... they all employ some sort of PKI mechanism... so how does OpenBSD handle these sort of things?
