OpenPGP is a cryptographic standard that allows for secure, confidential,non-reputable, and verifiable communication over an otherwise untrustedmedium such as email. This only works, however, if you have some method ofverifying that the other party is indeed who they claim to be. This problemis solved through keysigning: you are verifying first hand that the otherparty's identity and key match as well as declaring this to anyone whotrusts you. These interconnected chains of verification form a web of trustand allow secure communication between previously unacquainted or unverifiedcommunicators. If you do not already have an OpenPGP key, please acquire a client andgenerate one. For the Linux and BSD operating systems, we recommend [http://gnupg.org GnuPG]or one of its frontends such as [http://www.gnupg.org/related_software/gpa/index.en.html GPA] or [http://projects.gnome.org/seahorse/ Seahorse]. For Windows wesuggest [http://www.gpg4win.org Gpg4Win]. For OSX we suggest [https://gpgtools.org/ GPG Tools]. Follow the associateddocumentation to generate a keypair. If you wish to attend, please bring '''two forms of valid identification''' as well as paper copies of your fingerprint, if possible.
