Summary:

OpenPGP is a standard for cryptographic authentication and encryption,
and uses a web-of-trust model for determining the trustworthiness of a
particular certificate. If you want to get an encrypted or
authenticated message (or data) to someone you know, but don’t trust a
certificate authority like Verisign, the PGP is for you! This
presentation will recap the basic cryptographic operations and the
web-of-trust model. Then, we’ll go over the basics of key management,
and see how several email clients can be configured to use
OpenPGP-standard keys to encrypt and/or sign emails.
