Every GNU/Linux distribution ships with GnuPG by default. While they all don’t ship with the same GUI frontend, they do ship with the the same CLI backend. So, we’ll be interfacing with that throughout this informational session. I’m not presenting this as anything necessarily useful. Rather, I hope you find it informational/educational, and learn a [...]
I’ve moved to GnuPG version 2, mainly just out of curiosity. I have read the feature list between version 1 and 2. Apparently, version 2 supports the same algorithms, completely backwards-compatible with version 1, more modular and supports additional functionality. So, with that, my GPG key has been re-exported using version 2. [...]
At your earliest convenience, you’ll need to update my public key in your keyring. You can grab the cleaned copy from my site, or your can get an uncleaned copy from either the Ubuntu keyserver or the PGP keyserver. Please do not use the MIT PGP keyserver, until I can get straightened out [...]
I just discovered, after spending some time trying to get my public key uploaded to the MIT PGP keyserver that they do not support photos in public keys. I find this rather unfortunate, as photos add a level of security to the key. This also means that any IDs that I add to [...]

Being a strong advocate [...]

Thank you all for the last 6 years or so. It has been fun (sometimes) [...]
As mentioned in my last post, I don’t generally use keyservers. I would much rather just email the key or leave it posted on my blog. However, with that said, I do have my key published to the 3 most popular keyservers on the web, with the first as my default in both [...]
For those of you who read my blog and wonder if I have a GPG key, well your in luck! I have had a key since Glen, a friend of mine, introduced me the world of encryption and security in September 2004, and my life hasn’t been the same since.
I used to sign all [...]
