jethro

A few months later Jethro called to tell Jed about a large amount of equipment that had shown up unexpectedly at his front door.

Jethro was delighted to hear about all the good things the Lord had done for Israel in rescuing them from the hand of the Egyptians.

Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, together with Moses' sons and wife, came to him in the desert, where he was camped near the mountain of God.

Jethro finds Ellie's public key published via a digital certificate in the directory and sends her a message.

Jethro had sent word to him, "I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons. "

So Jed contacted the company and asked them to verify that the order had in fact been generated by Jethro.

Also, the orders are secret, so no one knows about that big oil find that Jethro discovered outside the back door of his home.

Initially, Jed suspected that the easily-distracted Jethro had actually ordered the equipment, but had forgotten about it.

In our example with Jethro and Jed, Ellie could have verified the integrity of the message before executing the equipment order.

If Jethro's signature is valid, then the message is re-hashed and compared to verify that it's valid.

Jethro right-clicks Ellie's email address in this message and then selects Add to contacts.

Now Jethro can send Ellie signed and encrypted orders for equipment.

Ellie clicks OK and is done; she now has Jethro's public key.

He went to live with Jethro's family and helped to look after their huge flock of sheep and goats.

The first step is for both Ellie and Jethro to send a signed message to each other.

Jethro van Hardeveld: Since 2006 our office has been active on the issue of internet censorship.

And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

In our example, Jethro sends a message to Ellie.

Let's look at an open standard method to ensure that a message is actually sent from Jethro.
