Title: Basic of cryptography using OpenPGP and GnuPG
Abstract: OpenPGP is the prevalent standard for cryptography for
secure software distribution, and GnuPG is its prevalent open source
implementation. This talk introduces things at a conceptual level:
what cryptography is for, why is it useful, and the basic use of GnuPG
by creating cryptographic keys, using digital signatures, and
encryption. No previous experience with GnuPG or OpenPGP is needed,
but all examples will be using the Linux command line.
