PGP keys are unrelated to nntp - and they could be used to verify that a user is who he says he is. However, there's a development cost to setting this up (trust me, I tried working on a script to do just that!), and PGP will not be a good solution for all (most?) users - users who like posting from multiple machines, or that are not inclined to install even more software on their box...
