I think this year’s key post-keysigning-party work was the least effort ever. I wanted to write down the procedure for anyone interested.

First a few assumptions:

  • you have been given a file that contains the fingerprints and names of everyone that attended the keysigning party,
  • you verified the file’s sha1 sum at the event,
  • this file’s sha1 sum was verified at the event by everyone whose keys you want to sign,
  • you trust that the people whose keys you are signing did not lie about checking the sha1 sum of the file.

A tool that make sthings easier is caff and gpg-agent.
