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.
