Organizing Large Key-Signing Events?

Posted by Cliff on from the keeping-the-trust-chain-intact dept.

FooBarBaz asks: "I'll probably be organizing a quite large (read ~ 300+ people) PGP/GnuPG-Key-Signing-Event. Everyone suspiciously eyeing each others ID and reading fingerprints to everyone else is quite out of the question with such numbers. How would you organize something like that and still be able to select 'I have checked very carefully' when GPG asks?"

    Just get everyone to come along with 50-odd copies of their fingerprint/address/etc. Everyone can wander around, introducing themselves to each other and exchanging fingerprints. Why not combine the practical with the social? Lord knows the type of people who go along to key-signing parties need all the help they can get:)
