Let me see if I got that straight.  Someone objected to their public key 
being, err, public?

I had a boss like that once.  Normally a sensible chap, he objected to 
public key crypto making the public key, well, public.  I tried to explain 
that you want as many people as possible to know your public key, but I 
don't think I got through.
