GPG Workshop for Newcomers

Track: Introduction to Free Software & Debian

Type: Workshop (2h)

Room: Somewhere

Time: Jul 25 (Thu): 10:00

Duration: 2:00

We use asymmetric cryptography on a daily basis for Debian work. We use it to establish trust, sign emails/packages/commits, send encrypted e-mails, etc. To do all that, one needs a PGP key and it might not be the easiest thing to learn for newcomers. This workshop will start by giving a quick introduction on cryptography, especially asymmetric cryptography. Then we will create a PGP key together and execute some common tasks like encryption/decryption of files, signing content and mailing encrypted emails.

After creating the key, we will upload to public keyservers so all of you will be able to join our Continuous Keysigning Party.
