Debian-NYC Workshop #4 An Introduction to Secure Digital Communications using OpenPGP -------------------------------------------------------------- Date and Time: March 24, 2010 at 7:00 PM Duration: 2.5 Hours The first part of this workshop will be a discussion of some of the problems facing secure communications on a public network, concepts that can be used to solve those problems, and an introduction to OpenPGP, a tool that implements those concepts and allows secure communications. The second part will be a guided, hands-on lab using OpenPGP tools to generate the digital keys needed to communicate securely, to obtain the keys of others, and to use those keys to encrypt data to a recipient. Participants should bring a portable computer to the workshop, have some experience using a command-line interface to their computer, and should be sure to have an implementation of OpenPGP[0] installed on their computer before the presentation. Date and Time: March 24, 2010 at 7:00 PM Duration: 2.5 Hours Location: Manhattan. As there is some physical security at the space being provided for the presentation, the exact location will be emailed to those who are RSVP'ed. Please RSVP to the Debian Wiki[1] or to David Rocamora[2] [0] The implementation of OpenPGP used by the presenters will be the GNU Privacy Guard(GPG). This is automatically installed on all Debian systems as the "gnupg" package. [1] http://wiki.debian.org/DebianNYC/Workshops/4 [2] dave@n22t.com -- David Rocamora | http://www.n22t.com
