WHAT: NBLUG General Meeting TOPIC: GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG/GPG) SPEAKER: Augie Schwer WHERE: O'Reilly and Associates, Sebastopol http://nblug.org/directions.cgi http://ora.com/oreilly/seb_directions.html WHEN: Tuesday, November 12th @ 7:30PM This is our normal monthly meeting at the normal scheduled time and place. GNU Privacy Guard (GPG/GnuPG) is the defacto standard for personal data encryption. It's compatible with the OpenPGP standard. Augie will be talking about the basics of Public Key encryption, how to use gpg directly and several email clients that support gpg. After the regular meeting there will be a key signing party; bring photo ID and bring a piece of paper with Your Key ID, Key type, HEX fingerprint, and Key size printed on it. Be sure to upload your key to a public key server first. ("gpg --fingerprint <keyid>" printed out should do nicely) Check the talk list for more details. Augie is an NBLUG member, a student at Sonoma State and a returning NBLUG presenter. http://www.gnupg.org/ http://nblug.org/augie/gpg/gpg-announce.html OTHER UPCOMING NBLUG EVENTS: November 13th, 6:30pm (the next day!), RedHat Road Tour December 10th, general meeting; topic unknown (anybody want to speak?)
