A key signing party is an event where people present their PGP-compatible keys to others in person. An individual's key is than digitally signed by the other attendees—only if they are confident that the key actually belongs to the person who claims ownership. This is usually done by comparing the individual's public key fingerprint, and photo ID (such as a drivers license or passport).

Bring

  • Pencil or Pen
  • Printed copy of your key ID, key type, key fingerprint, and key size. Details to do this follow.
