PGP Global Directory OpenSearch Plugin

The PGP Global Directory OpenSearch Plugin in action!I’ve been enjoying the past couple of weeks tinkering on a number of personal projects, and came across the OpenSearch capabilities of Firefox while researching Firefox extension development.

For most users, the most visible manifestation of OpenSearch is the “search engine” feature of the browser, which allows the user to add additional search engines to their browser’s search field. This allows you to easily perform searches on Google, Amazon, and many others, directly from the search bar in Firefox (as well as Internet Explorer 7, with some caveats).

Intrigued, I built a little OpenSearch implementation: the PGP Global Directory OpenSearch Plugin. This OpenSearch plugin allows you to search for OpenPGP public keys hosted by the PGP Global Directory, right from your web browser. It’s not especially useful, but it was a fun diversion I thought I’d share. Enjoy!

PGP Seeking Another PM

My employer, PGP, is seeking another stellar Product Manager to add to the team. Hot company, hot space (security), and <insert superlative here>! That, plus Phil Zimmermann drops by every so often, if that turns your crank (talk about your non-taxable benefit!).

If you’re a crypto-geek (as in “into encryption” not “difficult to understand”) with a good technical background, product management experience, good communication skills, and you “clean up good” for customers (my words, not PGP’s), then check out the job posting.

Seriously, I could use all the help I can get. 😉
