The Linux Users Group at Georgia Tech presents

"PGP"
  by Scott Gilliland

April 14th, 2010, 7:00 PM
Klaus Advanced Computing Building, room 2456

Summary:

  OpenPGP is a standard for cryptographic authentication and encryption,
and uses a web-of-trust model for determining the trustworthiness of a
particular certificate. If you want to get an encrypted or authenticated
message (or data) to someone you know, but don't trust a certificate
authority like Verisign, the PGP is for you! This presentation will
recap the basic cryptographic operations and the web-of-trust model.
Then, we'll go over the basics of key management, and see how several
email clients can be configured to use OpenPGP-standard keys to encrypt
and/or sign emails.

Hope to see you there!
