At some point I figgered out how both the RSA and elliptic curve stuff
really work mathematically, the latter with the help of a less-
expensive book ($85 rather than $150 :-) which I could lend if anybody
is interested.

If your portion isn't long enough, I wonder if we could have a
"credentials" night, where GPG/PGP is spoke of, along with things
like how to use keys to login under SSH and other such situations
that people (like me) might not even know exist.

someone else could give a thorough talk, that would be better.
Which date were we talking about this? I could give the talk, but
unless people want me to get into the actual DSA and RSA algorthms, I
don't think talking about gpg will cover a full hour long meeting.
