Both CAcert and GPG/PGP signing will be done.
GPG/PGP keysigning
A PGP Keysigning Party is a meeting where people exchange "PGP
key
fingerprints" in a secure way.
These meetings are quite often fun too.
Exchanging key fingerprints enables one to strengthen the "web of
trust". A
stronger web of trust makes more secure communication using the
internet
possible. For instance, the content of your emails cannot be read by
others.
Even if your key has already been signed by others, it's useful to
attend such
a party: the more people have signed your key, the more trustworthy
your key
can be to others.
Instructions on how to join the PGP Keysigning Party are published at ksp.mdcc.cx.
Stuff to do right now
First, submit your PGP public key to the HKP keyserver at ksp.mdcc.cx.
Run
gpg --keyserver hkp://ksp.mdcc.cx --keyserver-options
export-minimal --send-keys yourkeyid
Where yourkeyid is an ID like e.g. 0B86B067: When output of "gpg
--fingerprint
'Your Name'" looks like:
pub 2048D/0B86B067 2006-02-27
uid Joost van Baal [...]
sub 2048g/F0B86553 2006-02-27
you need "0B86B067": on the line with "pub".

CACert
TODO for visitors- If you can (you'll have less work later on), first go to the CAcert website to register.
- Once logged in on the site, you'll find a "CAcert Web of Trust" menu. Click on that title to open the menu and download the personal "A4 - WoT Form". I recommend you to print approx 20-40 sheets of this document. as it will enable you to be signed by other people too. You need more as just one Assurance in order to have your name on the certificate or even become an Assurer yourself and help to establish the web of trust. You should also do this if you are already assurer, so that cross signatures are possible.
- Take 2 official proofs of identity. (eg: ID-card, drivers-license, passport,...).
We make 1 line, Assurers will sit (floor/seat), visitors willing to be assured will pass and show their identity papers. Papers will be signed.
