Join us at the Birth of a new Key at CFP2000! (http://pgp.greatvideo.com) The Cryptorights Foundation <http://cryptorights.org> will be generating its new "root" key in a very public ceremony. If you've been reading about "Public Key Infrastructures" (PKIs) in the media but don't really know what they are or how they work, this is a rare opportunity for you to come learn about public key cryptography from some very experienced crypto people (who are also involved in human rights work), and to be present at the Birth of a new root key and a new PKI. This will be a PGP root key, not an X.509 root key, so The newly-generated CRF "root" key, which will be used as the certifying Meta-Introducer key in the CRF's PKI, will also be split (using a cryptographic technique to protect it from misuse), and signed by everyone present who has a PGP key, in order to give it validity (and stature) in the global Web of Trust. Representatives of the CRF will also be generating their personal Trusted Introducer keys, which will be signed in front of everyone by the Meta-Introducer key. If this paragraph didn't make much sense to you now, then you should definitely come to the ceremony and listen to the Tutorial immediately preceding the Ceremony. Please join us for this very special (and educational!) birth... -- Robert Guerra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WWW Page <http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/3378> Crypto & PGP Page <http://crypto.yashy.com/www>
