I prefer GPG. And no, GPG does not lack timestamping, a timestamp is
included in every signature.

X.509 is more widely spread. I think this is the only reason that it is
preferred by some users. I would like to see GPG to be more widely
used. For me, x.509 is not more trustworthy than GPG, I trust this
system and the signed certificate less in many cases.

The signature regulations in the EU are not the best. In the US, I
read, ebven PGP is approved in some states. They use it even vor notary
approvals. We had a thread describing this a few months ago.

The only thing is, that GPG can not do inline signing of PDFs. This
would be a nice feature, but, AFAIK the standard for PDF doesn't leave
us this option.

Regards,
Dirk
