 There seems to be an assumption here that there exists, or might exist, some sort of register of public keys that are directly linked to the identities of real people. One of the important reasons that PGP exists is that it allows users to retain control over their identities. There is no central registry by design. So in the case of PGP the whole repudiability thing falls apart. There seems to be an assumption here that there exists, or might exist, some sort of register of public keys that are directly linked to the identities of real people.
