Within more active pockets of the global free software community (where OpenPGP signatures are used to authenticate release artifacts, security advisories, election ballots, access controls and so on) key signing parties are an extremely common occurrence... I'd say much more so now than a decade ago, as the community has grown continually and developed an increasing need to be able to recognize one another's output in a verifiable manner, asynchronously, distributed over great distances and across loosely-related subcommunities/projects. -- { PGP( 48F9961143495829 ); FINGER( fu...@cthulhu.yuggoth.org ); WWW( http://fungi.yuggoth.org/ ); IRC( fu...@irc.yuggoth.org#ccl ); WHOIS( STANL3-ARIN ); MUD( kin...@katarsis.mudpy.org:6669 ); } _______________________________________________ The cryptography mailing list cryptography@metzdowd.com http://www.metzdowd.com/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
