[edlug] Important information for Key Swap Session 1st September.

[Jan <rathgild@xxx.xxx.xxx>]

A little bit more information about the process for the Key Swap session 
in the pub tomorrow evening.

Firstly here is a link giving information about generating keys and key 
fingerprints
http://www.cryptnet.net/fdp/crypto/keysigning_party/en/keysigning_party.html 
(see particularly chapter 4 parts 5 and 8 in "generating your key pair").

If you want to swap a key please bring to the meeting:

- a piece of paper with the key fingerprint on it

- either
     a) information on how to get the key from the internet (eg url)
     or
     b) a memory stick with the key on it

- photo id in case it's needed (eg driving license)

- something to write with would also be advantageous

We won't be creating keys on the night for security reasons.

Claudio is setting up a key server and that URL will be given out on the 
night.

Any other questions please get in touch.

Jan
