There will be a PGP signing event this coming Monday, October 21st at 6pm-7pm in LWSN B155. Please bring a student ID and government ID. Also, please try to print about 10-30 copies of your pgp fingerprint beforehand. Professor Gene Spafford has agreed to present on how PGP works at the event.
You can generate a pgp key by doing the following:
gpg --gen-key
You can get the fingerprint for the key by doing the following:
gpg --fingerprint <keyId>
