The DNSO can setup their own, signing people's OpenPGP keys themselves with a
special signing key.  PGP is available over the net, free, to anyone.

GnuPG is an openpgp implementation that is totally free, and the source code is
available as well under the Gnu Public License.

There are PGP or GnuPG programs for nearly every OS/Computer platform out
there, and with the command line programs can be used with any email client at
all.
