[PLUG] keysigning party at the next (10/4/2000) plug meeting

[Darxus@chaosreigns.com]

I'd like to do a keysigning party at the next plug meeting, after Mike
Ryan's presentation on firewalls.

To participate:
* Email me your GPG key
* Bring your photo ID (license / passport) to the meeting
* Bring a *confirmed*copy* of your fingerprint to the meeting

That's all you have to do.  

The rest of this email is an explanation of the process.


"*confirmed*copy*" means that you printed or wrote it out, and confirmed
its accuracy yourself.  Get your fingerprint by doing "gpg --fingerprint
your@email_address.com".  It'll look like:

pub  1024D/0E9FF879 2000-09-05 Darxus <Darxus@ChaosReigns.com>
     Key fingerprint = DE37 8846 3B06 B97C F661  D68F 7FB5 B0BE 0E9F F879
sub  1024g/2EEAB976 2000-09-05 [expires: 2001-09-05]


IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A GPG KEY, download gpg from www.gnupg.org (or your
distribution's package archive), and install it, then run:

 gpg --gen-key

Entering a "Real name" that matches your photo id will reduce
complications.


TO WRITE YOUR PUBLIC KEY TO A FILE to mail to me, do:

 gpg -a --export-key your@email_address.com > my.key.asc

(substitute "your@email_address.com" with your address)
And email me the file "my.key.asc"



At the meeting:
* I will distribute copies of everyone's fingerprints to all who are
  participating
* Each participant will read off their *confirmed*copy* of their key, so
  that everyone else can verify with complete certainty that the key is
  valid.
* Each participant will pass around their photo ID so that everyone can
  confirm their identity.


After the meeting, every participant will download 1 file containing all
participants' keys, import them (with "gpg --import plug.keyring"), and
then sign each verified key, with:

 gpg --sign-key 0E9FF879

Where "0E9FF879" is the key id of the key you're signing.  Key IDs are
listed here:
