OLS keysigning / 2006

Sat, 29 Jul 2006 14:41:29 -0400

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.
