| adom | marcoceppi: sorry for late response. busy at work yesterday. um yeah i've heard of gpg/pgp keys, they're used for encrypting files mostly, right? | 20:20 |
|---|---|---|
| marcoceppi | adom: yes, but how do you know if a PGP key belongs to who it says it does? | 20:21 |
| marcoceppi | adom: to achieve this, key signing parties are a way to build trust. You meet in real life with form of photo id and your key | 20:21 |
| marcoceppi | you have others sign your key and you sign others | 20:22 |
| marcoceppi | signing indicates that you met that person in real life and they are who they say they are | 20:22 |
| marcoceppi | and so the web of trust grows | 20:22 |
