Wineconf 06 Keysigning
by David Gümbel Sept. 6, 2006

Sept. 6, 2006

Hi, at Wineconf 2005, we've had a quite successful GPG key signing party. Thus, I'd like to volunteer for organizing a GPG keysigning party at Wineconf 2006 as well. Quoting last year's party organizer (Shachar Shemesh), anyone who wishes to participate, please: 1. Have a PGP key. You can generate one for yourself using gpg. 2. Send the PGP (public) key and its finger print to me AT THE VERY LATEST ON TUESDAY 12. Any later then that, and it is not certain that we'll manage to get your key on the printed piece of paper that is necessary for carrying out the party. 3. Bring a copy you can trust to wineconf, to make sure other people are really signing your key (i.e. - that I'm not pulling anybody's leg). 4. Bring an identifying ID to wineconf. Two is preferable. Passport or a driver license in a language people can read. If you can only bring one, a passport is definitely preferable. The full details of what a key signing party is, why are the procedures as they are, and what's so important about *not* signing the keys with your laptop at the party can be found at http://www.cryptnet.net/fdp/crypto/gpg-party.html Note: No aliases on PGP keys. If your PGP key says "lord master of compiler optimization", then your passport had better say the same or no one will be able to sign your key. Also, if you DON'T want the key published to a key server, please let me know well in advance. Obviously, your key will be published to all the people present at the key party. If your name's not there on your email headers, include it in the body. The name must be the same as appears on your formal IDs. The purpose of a pgp signing party is to establish a link between your virtual identity (your key) and your real one (as verified by an ID). For that reason it is impossible to participate by proxy, or under an alias. Cheers David -- Dipl.-Inform.
