[[File:KWCrypto-logo-96x96.jpeg|thumb|link=KWCrypto|KWCrypto]]I'm conducting at [[Formal Keysigning]] at the [http://kwlug.org/node/1039 August 2016 meeting of KWLUG]

For a formal keysigning I'll need copies of your GnuPG/PGP Public Key, then after the keysigning event I'll ensure that everyone has a copy of all the signed keys.

There are [[Formal Keysigning#ToDo_for_the_Participants|full instructions for preparation before the meeting]], and [[Formal Keysigning#Participants|full instructions for follow up]]. But here are simplified instructions -- simpler for both the participants, and simpler for me too:

# E-mail your public key to [mailto:bjonkman@sobac.com bjonkman@sobac.com]
# I publish the keyring in an [http://sobac.com/owncloud/s/xy2nXhkWRR4STSx ownCloud shared folder], and add it to a '''Keysigning Keyring'''; you can download it to verify that your key is correct (I'll send the password when I receive your public key).
# Come to the KWLUG meeting on Monday, 8 August 2016, and bring a copy of your public key so you can read out your fingerprint independently from the list that I'll be providing.
# After the meeting, you carefully verify that the key fingerprint you have in your keyring matches the fingerprint you verified at the meeting, then you sign the keys of those people that you verified.
# E-mail me the signed keys (or upload to the [http://sobac.com/owncloud/s/xy2nXhkWRR4STSx ownCloud shared folder]).
# I'll import all the signed keys into the '''Keysigning Keyring''', I'll sign all the keys with the '''Keysigning Key''', I'll update the [http://sobac.com/owncloud/s/xy2nXhkWRR4STSx ownCloud shared folder], and I'll e-mail all the signed keys from everyone back to you too.
# You import the all the keys into your own keyring again, so that you have all the signatures on everyone's keys.
# If you want, you can upload your own signed public key to the keyservers.

Remember, don't upload other people's public keys to the keyservers without their permission. Not everyone wants their GnuPG/PGP key (which usually has an e-mail address) to be easily harvestable by the spammers.
