Schedule FSCONS 2015

Starting with a hands-on workshop to get started with cryptography, we'll end with a keysigning party to strengthen the OpenPGP and CAcert.org Webs of Trust by certifying each other's identity. It's recommended to bring a proof of identity (and fingerprint slips if possible).

Welcome to the FSCONS hands-on cryptography workshop and key-signing party.

Hands-on workshop. In the workshop, we will explore the fundamentals of cryptography with GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG or GPG). Together we will install the software on your computer; create, distribute, and sign cryptography keys; integrate cryptography with your emailing solution; and finally perform some secure electronic communication.

The workshop targets beginners, but our experience tells us that also experienced users benefit from those discussions that are raised.

OpenPGP Key-signing. We will keep the key-signing informal. As usual, the final decision about each certification is left to each signer's appreciation, but it's common to ask the signee for one (or more) government-issued ID(s). Participants are also encouraged to bring printouts of their key's fingerprint, for instance formatted using the gpg-key2ps tool which can be found in Debian's signing-party package. One can also mail their key to the organizer, who has access to a printer.

CAcert assurance. CAcert members are bound by the Community Agreement. As such, assurers are required to carefullyverify applicants' identity against at least one government-issued ID. CAcert "privileges" can be found here.
