When: September 15, 2010 7PM (6:30PM for Q&A)
Topic: PGP/GnuPG Keysigning Party XI, plus a talk by V. Alex Brennan
Moderators: V. Alex Brennen
Location: MIT Building E51, Room 325

Our eleventh PGP/GnuPG Keysigning Party.
Please sign up in advance at http://blu.org/keysignings/

A key signing party is a get-together of people who use the PGP
encryption system with the purpose of allowing those people to sign each
others keys. Key signing parties serve to extend the web of trust to a
great degree. Key signing parties also serve as great opportunities to
discuss the political and social issues surrounding strong cryptography,
individual liberties, individual sovereignty, and even implementing
encryption technologies or perhaps future work on free encryption softwar=
e.

The purpose of the meeting is to authenticate each other, i.e. verify
everybody's key ids and key fingerprints. Participants sign each others'
keys offline.

In order to complete the keysigning in the allotted time, we follow a
formal procedure as seen in V. Alex Brennen's "GnuPG Keysigning Party
HOWTO" (see attachment below). It is strongly advised that if you have
not been to a keysigning party before, you read this document.

It is essential that, before the meeting, you register on the signup
form listed in the attachments. You should bring at least one picture ID
with you. You must also bring your own printout of the report on that
page, so you can check off the names/keys of the people you have
personally verified.

For further information and directions please consult the BLU Web site

Please note that there is usually plenty of free parking in the E-51
parking lot at 2 Amherst St, or directly on Amherst St.

After the meeting we will adjourn to the official after meeting meeting
location at The Cambridge Brewery.
