GPG/PGP Keysigning
2) How many copies of the (16 page) document do I need to print and fill in the checksums?
1.
3) If I add another email address to my identity (I only have one on it now), is the key as signed at the keysigning automatically valid for that address (or is my question already showing my lack of understanding)?
When signing a key, GPG will ask whether you want to sign all email adresses. Some people won't say `Y' if your new email address is not on the list.
4) What is the best way to disseminate my public key, and to get the public keys of my correspondants? I understand there are key servers somewhere, can someone explain how this works?
gpg --recv-key --keyserver pgp.mit.edu <id> gpg --send-key --keyserver pgp.mit.edu <id> You can also put the keyserver in your ~/.gnupg/options.
