The [[VTLUUG]] currently has SSH host keys available in the Monkeysphere for [[acidburn]], [[milton]], and [[wood]]. The keys are signed by [[User:mutantmonkey|mutantmonkey]].
 
==Installation==
{{Template:Version|Ubuntu 10.04}}
 
Add the Monkeysphere APT repository to <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code>.
<pre>
echo 'deb http://archive.monkeysphere.info/debian experimental monkeysphere
deb-src http://archive.monkeysphere.info/debian experimental monkeysphere' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
</pre>
 
Then [http://web.monkeysphere.info/archive-key/ trust the Monkeysphere key after verification].
 
Now make sure that apt is up to date, install the Monkeysphere packages, and configure Monkeysphere to run.
<pre>
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install monkeysphere monkeysphere-validation-agent
$ echo 'USE_VALIDATION_AGENT=true' >> ~/.monkeysphere/monkeysphere.conf
</pre>
 
Next, download, compile and install the browser plugin with git.
<pre>
$ git clone git://git.monkeysphere.info/xul-ext-monkeysphere
$ cd xul-ext-monkeysphere
$ make
</pre>
 
To install the plugin, open the .xul file in your browser and choose the install option.
 
Lastly, log out and log back in to have the Monkeysphere validation agent launch automatically.
 
To test, try navigating to https://vtluug.org without the self-signed certificate trusted. A monkey icon in the bottom left should spin as the trust is checked. Eventually, the certificate warning page should be bypassed if the certificate can be authenticated through the web of trust. Otherwise, the monkey face will be crossed out with red.
