This begs the question, "How would you conduct an efficient key signing given what you have learned?" I am in the process of organizing one and would like to get input as to the best way that this should take place. Should people bring key fingerprints and public keys on floppy? Would it be nice to be online and grab public keys off of a key server? How would you conduct a nym signing?

The things that I learned was that instructions should be sent to the participants well in advance.

Key fingerprints should be brought on paper becuase it is not always assured of having a computer there to read the disk. (We had a lap top that was refusing to read disks effectivly. We had to use on of the Habit's computers.)

...which, of course, had been infected the night before by a black-bag job by some NSA operatives with a "fiddle with PGP and make the key signatures come out wrong" virus... <G!> Paranoia strikes deep...
