At various TriLUG meetings, some people like to
verify each other's identities and key fingerprints.
In order to verify fingerprints collected at meetings,
and to encourage GnuPG/PGP use throughout the LUG,
TriLUG maintains a keyring of our member's public keys.
It can be found here.
(Sadly, this key ring is no longer maintained.)
You can download and import this keyring to your
GnuPG keyring with this command:
lynx -source http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc | gpg --import
Alternatively, you can download the keyring manually and import it using this command:
gpg --import trilug.asc
When you go to a keysigning, you need to bring two things:
You can get your key information using this command:
gpg --fingerprint [key id or email address]
where [key id] is the last eight hexidecimal digits of the key's fingerprint.
Note that if you sign a key, please send it to a keyserver, if the key owner has said that's ok, otherwise, please send the key back to the owner and let them upload it to a keyserver. In GnuPG, you can send it to a keyserver with this command:
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --send-key [key id]
To export the key and send it to the key owner, use this command:
gpg -a --export [key id] > descriptive_name.gpg.asc
If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me at the address at the bottom of the page.
