When and Where:
UKUUG OpenTech 2008, 7:45pm in the Main Room.
What:
Keysigning party. PGP, CACert, and Thawte web of trust all welcome.

What's it all about?

For a more in-depth explanation, see our page on Keysigning parties.

What to bring with you

  • Your public key ID and fingerprint, ideally on bits of paper you can hand out to people
  • Feel free to put your key details at the bottom of this page so people can print them out and just ask you to confirm them, thus saving on time and paper.
  • Some form of Identity.
  • For CACert Assurance. Join CACert and bring two forms of Photo ID (ideally Drivers Licence and Passport) with your WoT form.
  • For Thawte Notarisation: Join their Web of Trust , bring two forms of government-issued Photo ID with your form and a copy of the IDs.
  • Something to write with and on, so you can write down key IDs and fingerprints of people who don't have something to hand out
  • Alternatively create a list using the script found at http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~kwinterl/keyparty/keyp.html#list_based

What to do

  • Meet people
  • Decide how much you trust their claimed identity
  • Collect the key ID and fingerprint
  • When you get home, download their keys from keyservers, check the fingerprints match, sign, and upload. Unless you know and trust the person well, it's a good idea to confirm their email address and control of the key before stating the highest level of assurance in your signature. This can be done easily with a tool like caff or using the technique described on the Hants LUG website.
