What's a key-signing?
A key-signing is a get-together with PGP users for the purpose of meeting other
PGP users and signing each other's keys. This helps to extend the "web of
trust" to a great degree. Also, it sometimes serves as a forum to discuss
strong cryptography and related issues.
Required Items?
1. Physical attendance
2. Positive picture ID
3. Your key ID, key type, HEX fingerprint, and key size
4. A pen/pencil or whatever you'd like to write with....
5. NO computer
Why should I use PGP?
You should use PGP, if you need (or want) to protect your personal
emails from being read by individuals or entities other than your
intended recipient(s). PGP, when used correctly, can provide message
privacy, message integrity, message authentication, and to some
degree non-repudibility.
OK. What are some good applications of PGP?
Protection of email traffic of a sensitive nature, such as the
coordination of response to ongoing security incidents, requests
for DNS modifications, requests for networking changes and exchange
of sensitive personal information like SSNs. At the very least, it
would be useful to have all such messages signed, so the recipients
could be sure that the notes were not forged.
Please forward this note to anyone who may be interested in
attending.
