Very nice idea for presenting the GPA of student

It is not good to show the name of student on the manuscripts, an option to solve such a problem is to show the hash value of student name (plus some random number) using MD5 algorithm. However, the student needs to know his random number. An alternative is to use the matriculation number, so the student has to keep it as secrete, otherwise others may know your scores.

gpg usage note

The gpg has a new version: 1.4.12. When I used gpg --gen-key, it outputted two pairs of keys: main keys for signing and verifying (pub), sub keys for encryption and decryption (sub). However, to encrypt something, it is not necessary to use sub key ID, you can use pub key ID instead.

A good explanation on this topic is here:
