That's the only way to do it properly (but I'd strike the "semi" portion of that statement. If we don't put in effort to verify identities properly, our web of trust will mean nothing). I keep a copy of my fingerprints in my wallet for just that purpose. It's a perfect match for my two pieces of fully official ID. A word of caution, though. There's a lot of mishandled keys out there, especially with lost passphrases or secret keys. I'd recommend that anyone who wants to learn about gpg/pgp put in a bit of research before generating a keypair. Whether this is individual time or waiting for a presentation doesn't matter much. Exchanging information can happen any time. Future meetings may be just as useful for this. Greg --- -
