A couple of people offered bounties at the last meeting for anyone who could break security on their new systems.

Let's have some details :-)

(I'm assuming that filling a pipe with cement is not in the spirit of this event. Bonus points for relaxing and having a cookie during the contest.)

In April 2006 a group of GatorLUG members began the task of building a new web of trust for Gainesvillian GnuPG/PGP encryption users. At the April meeting of GatorLUG 9 members completed a Keysigning Party and the result is the first step toward a strong web of trust around the Gainesville, FL area.

If you want to participate in the party you have to do some homework first! Without further ado, and with thanks to V. Alex Brennen:

**What's a key-signing party?**

A key-signing party is a get-together with GPG users for the purpose of meeting other GPG users and signing each other's keys. This helps to extend the "web of trust" to a great degree. Also, it sometimes serves as a forum to discuss strong cryptography and related issues.

**Required Items?**

1. Physical attendance
2. Positive picture ID
3. Your key ID, key type, HEX fingerprint, and key size
