PGP/GPG key signing at the next IFSA meeting



Hello everyone,

I have added PGP/GPG key signing to the agenda for the upcoming October 9 meeting. I imagine those of us who grok PGP/GPG will also be providing some tutorials for those who wish to know more about it.

For anyone who would like to participate, there are a couple of steps you will need to take (on a computer that you trust) before coming to the key signing event:

1. You'll have to create a PGP key (using your own computer) if you don't have one already 2. You'll have to print out a number of "fingerprints" for your key that you can give to others who agree to sign your key (after you show them your identification).

There is a "Howto" posted on the IFSA forums that will tell you most of what you need to know.
