KWLUG Keysigning 2016-08-08
I'm conducting at Formal Keysigning at the August 2016 meeting of KWLUG
For a formal keysigning I'll need copies of participants' GnuPG/PGP Public Keys, which I'll collect in one Keysigning Keyring. Then I'll publish a list of participants and their key fingerprints, and then after the formal portion I'll sign all the participants' keys with the Keysigning Key I've generated specifically for the keysigning.
There are full instructions for preparation before the meeting, and 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 bjonkman@sobac.com
- I publish the keyring in an ownCloud shared folder, 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, carefully verify that the key fingerprint you have matches the fingerprint you verified at the meeting, then sign the keys of those people that you verified.
- E-mail me the signed keys (or upload to the ownCloud shared folder).
- I'll import all the keys into the Keysigning Keyring, sign all the keys with the Keysigning Key, update the ownCloud shared folder, and I'll e-mail them 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 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.
