“The number one use of OpenPGP today is to verify downloaded packages for Linux-based operating systems, usually using a software tool called GnuPG. If someone were to poison a vendor’s public certificate and upload it to the keyserver network, the next time a system administrator refreshed their keyring from the keyserver network the vendor’s now-poisoned certificate would be downloaded. At that point upgrades become impossible because the authenticity of downloaded packages cannot be verified. Even downloading the vendor’s certificate and re-importing it would be of no use, because GnuPG would choke trying to import the new certificate. It is not hard to imagine how motivated adversaries could employ this against a Linux-based computer network.”

In addition to public education, the new department’s curator, Charles-Edward Winslow, also pushed for better ways to study the organisms that caused diseases. His efforts led to the creation of a collection of microscopic life, which Winslow called the Living Museum, aimed at helping researchers cultivate, study, and classify different types of microorganisms. Winslow solicited live cultures from all over the country. Within two years, he had gathered 578 bacterial strains and provided 1,700 cultures to researchers at more than 120 labs and universities.
