[NTLUG:Discuss] GnuPG Public Keys

[Hank Ivy]

I downloaded Ralph Green's public key from the ubuntu public key server, signed that I know him 
causally, and uploaded it.

Everybody, send a notice when you upload your public key.  Before the next meeting, I will send 
a clear text signed file listing everybody's name, email, fingerprint, etc. with a hash, MD5, of 
the file.  And I will bring the hash to the meeting.  Yes, its overkill.  It allows both high 
tech, and low tech ways to validate the file.  You can print it out and bring it to the meeting 
to make notes as you check finger prints.

Ralph, As an educational exercise, If your refresh your public key from the ubuntu public key 
server, does it look different?

This is what my system has about Ralph's public key:
gpg --fingerprint --fingerprint -v  -v --list-keys "ralph"
gpg: using PGP trust model
gpg: key F8B04C7C: accepted as trusted key
