[Jerry Feldman]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

When: September 17, 2008 7PM (6:30PM for Q&A)
Topic: Our Annual PGP/GnuPG Keysigning Party
Moderator: Alex Brennan
Location: MIT Building E51, Room 376
Note: New room number from July and August.


A talk about PGP and GnuPG, followed by a keysigning party.


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 software.

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.


John was able to get the keysigning list back:

The list will be printed on Wednesday afternoon, the day of the meeting;
be sure to regsiter your key for the keysigning before that. The
official cutoff time is 4:30 pm.

There is usually plenty of parking in front of MIT E-51 (2 Amherst St,
Cambridge, MA).
