“…GPG/PGP Key signing parties are a get-together of GPG/PGP
users for the purpose of meeting other PGP users and signing each
other’s keys. GPG and PGP are a form of encryption technology,
similar to technologies used in electronic commerce. GPG/PGP Key
signing parties extend the “web of trust”, which is a form of
infrastructure that GPG/PGP depends on to work properly. GPG/PGP
Key signing parties are events which build infrastructure for
GPG/PGP communications and encourage the use of GPG and PGP. This
technology can produce digital signatures, preserve individual
privacy, and help to protect individuals on the Internet from
crackers.”
