We agree on the first point, crypto is by its nature difficult. Which is
/precisely/ why you shouldn't make it more difficult than necessary.

On the latter point: I think the user interfaces can be made better, but I
disagree with your description of that. We do agree to disagree, don't we?

That's how you want to improve the user interface for, I quote, the
"non-expert(!) user"? In that case we disagree about the right way to do this on
such a fundamental level that I don't think we're going to come to common ground.

Also, I think this discussion would benefit from a narrower scope. Let's focus
on terminology and user interface elements with the current mechanics, and leave
things like "the lack of transparency of the security level" to other threads.

HTH,

Peter.
