Subject: [aclug-L] [announce]  December Aclug Meeting: Monday Dec 9, 7:30PM: 
OpenPGP

> 
> 
> Topic for Dec 9: Public-key cryptography and digital signatures with OpenPGP
> John Goerzen will be presenting this topic.
> 
> This meeting will talke about public-key cryptography -- what it is, why
> there is such a high demand for it, and how to use it.  Public-key
> cryptography allows people to send encrypted messages without first having a
> secure channel to exchange a password.  We'll also talk about digital
> signatures, web-of-trust, and how you can use these tools to verify the
> authenticity of a message, whether it's encrypted or not.  Finally, there
> will be a discussion of ways that this (or any) cryptosystem can be
> subverted and how to exercise a healthy sense of paranoia.
> 
> The second half will be a keysigning.  This, in a nutshell, helps us build a
> web-of-trust so we can have certainty that we are communicating with the
> person we think we are, rather than an eavesdropper.  If you want to
> participate in the keysigning (and we encourage everyone to do so), please
> read the instructions AND register online BEFORE December 8 at:

> www.aclug.org/key-sign.php
> 
> That page also has links to additional information about what a keysigning
> event is, and what you need to bring with you on the evening of December 9.

> 
> This meeting will be held in Rm 247 in Jabara Hall on the WSU campus. The
> door will be open at 7:00pm, announcements will be begin at 7:30pm with the
> presentation following immediately afterwards and lasting until
> approximately 9:00pm.

> We hope to see you there!
