crypto pgp workshop

Description

What?

OpenPGP is an encryption mechanism that is widely used for:

encrypting and authenticating email;
checking authenticity of files, especially software.

Who?

Anyone willing to spend a couple of hours learning about it.

Prerequisites:

bring your own computer and a USB thumbdrive that you will format (and install Tails on). It will be even better if you can have Tails installed on it ahead of time!
for extra tinfoil-hattery, bring along a computer that you keep offline! (totally optional)

Content

Note that listening to me yammering for 2 hours would be all too boring,: so we will be interleaving explanations and practical application!
