---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2001 14:59:30 -0500 From: Paul Elliott Reply-To: alg@austinlug.org To: alg Subject: [alg] alg gpg/pgp keysigning party on Thur 07-26-01 The ALG key signing party will take place on Thursday July 26 2001. In order to participate in the party, please take the following steps: (A) if you have not done so already, generate a GPG/PGP key for yourself. The precise command for this varies with your version of GPG/PGP. Consult the documentation for your version. (B) email your public key to me by noon the day before the party July 25. Please indicate in your subject line the nature of the message. For example, Subject: KEY FOR KEY-SIGNING PARTY. If you use more that one key you can submit more than one, but be reasonable. I will use these keys to prepare a list of key IDs and fingerprints which will facilitate the party. I will Xerox this list. (C) Bring 2 things to the party: (a) your GPG/PGP key fingerprint(s) This will be used to verify that people are being asked to sign the public key that you want them to sign. (b) Identification, preferably picture identification to prove that you are you. The party will be run according to the non-coercion principle. No one is required to bring any particular form of ID. However, the non-coercion principle works two ways. If that ID that you bring does not persuade other people that you are you, then they are not required to sign your KEY! My advice, try a drivers license if possible. ================================================================ AFTER THE PARTY, everyone will have a list of public keys and key finger prints that they have decided it is OK to sign. I will have added all the public keys that were sent to me to the public key servers. I will also email the public keys used in the party to this list, in case anyone does not have access to the public key servers. You will be able to get the public keys that you wish to sign from any public key server. They should sign these public keys and make the signatures public. Please email the signed public keys to me and I will compile the signed public keys for the use of ALG. Please use the subject line: Subject: SIGNED PUBLIC KEY FROM KEY SIGNING PARTY. I will also add these now SIGNED keys to the GPG/PGP public key servers. If you wish, you can also send the signed public keys to the public key servers your own self. -:) For more information on key signing parties in general, see: http://www.cryptnet.net/fdp/crypto/gpg-party.html http://www.herrons.com/kb2nsx/keysign.html -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-9345 1(512)837-1096 pelliott@io.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.io.com/~pelliott/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117 -- ____________________________________________________________________ Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night: God said, "Let Tesla be", and all was light.
