PGP Signing

Why?

A PGP Keysigning Party is a meeting where people exchange "PGP key fingerprints" in a secure way. These meetings are quite often fun too. Exchanging key fingerprints enables one to strengthen the "web of trust". A stronger web of trust makes more secure communication using the internet possible. For instance, the content of your emails cannot be read by others. Even if your key has already been signed by others, it's useful to attend such a party: the more people have signed your key, the more trustworthy your key can be to others.

When?

Where?

At the presentaties-legertent.

How?

bring with you:

  • a sufficient amount of your key fingerprint, printed on paper leaflets: one for each attendant. Likely, about 50 will do.
  • something to convince others you are the one you claim to be. A passport or drivers license are commonly used for this.
