[ncc-announce] PGP Key-Signing Party at RIPE 61

[Apologies for duplicates]

Dear colleagues,

During RIPE 61, A PGP Key-Signing Party will be held on Tuesday 16
November, at 18:00.

We encourage you to come along if you're interested in building your web
of trust. The signing process will happen as follows:

1. Before the party, you'll need to add your PGP public key to this keyring:

The deadline for adding an entry to the keyring is Tuesday 16
November at 12:00.

2. At the party, you'll be provided with a printed copy of the keyring.
You'll need to verify that your public key is listed correctly on it.

3. Each person present will read out the fingerprint of their own public
key for everyone else to verify. Please bring an independent copy of
your key fingerprint (eg. your business card) to read from. As each
fingerprint is read out, you can mark your copy with a check mark.

4. Next, each person will confirm their identity by showing a legal
document (such as a passport or a driver's licence) to the other
participants. After you're satisfied with the identity of a participant,
you can mark your copy with a second check mark.

5. At the end of the party, each participant will have a printed sheet
on which they will have placed check marks to confirm public key
fingerprints and identities. When you get home, you can download the
keyring and sign each key that you have checked. After that you should
send each signed key to the owner of the key, and perhaps upload it to a
keyserver.
