Stickers for Your Name Badge

When you stop by the registration desk at NANOG38, there will be colored
stickers available for your name tag that indicate if you have an interest in
signing PGP keys. If people keep trying to peer with you, you've picked up the
wrong color sticker and should go back.

How the Key Signing Works

Those of you who plan to participate should email an ASCII extract of your
public key to msa at latt.net by 10:00 p.m. CST on Sunday, February 12. Please
include 'NANOG PGP KEY' in the subject, and if possible, don't send your key as
a MIME attachment. I realize that some MUAs make this difficult, and I will
attempt to fix any MIME-attached keys. Instructions for extracting your key to
an ASCII file are below.

After 9am CDT on the 9th, a complete key ring with all of the submitted keys 
will be available at puck.nether.net/~majdi/nanog38.pgp in binary form, and 
as an ASCII file at puck.nether.net/~majdi/nanog38.txt.  These files may be 
updated with any late submissions for the Tuesday signings.

Handouts with the details of each key submitted will be provided. All you should
need to bring with you is:

    * Photo ID (driver's license, passport, etc.)
    * Your key ID, and its fingerprint
    * A pen

Thank you, and I'm looking forward to seeing you all in St. Louis!

How to Extract Your Public Key to an ASCII File

        PGP 2.x:
                pgp -kxa your_email_address mykey.asc

        PGP 5.x:
                pgpk -xa your_email_address > mykey.asc

        GnuPG:
                gpg --export --armor your_email_address > mykey.asc

        PGP on Windows:
                Start the PGPkeys application, select your key in the
        list, click on the Keys menu, select Export, name the resulting
        file, and make sure that Include Private Keys is NOT checked.

        PGP on a Mac:
		If you're using GnuPG, follow the instructions above.

                If you're using the commercial version, I assume the 
	procedure is similar to the one for Windows, but cannot 
	confirm this.  Hopefully it's easy enough to figure out.
