What is/Why keysigning?
A key signing party is a get-together of people who have PGP keys for the purpose of allowing those people to sign each other's keys. Key signing parties allow the web of trust to be extended to a great degree. Keysigning parties also serve as great opportunities to discuss the political and social issues surrounding strong cryptography, individual liberties, individual sovereignity, and even implementing encryption technologies or perhaps future work on free encryption software.
Please read section One of the GnuPG Keysigning Party HOWTO (note: the party will be done slightly differently, so the other chapters do not apply completely). |
