We use GPG (or GnuPG Privacy Guard, whichever you prefer) in our office.
I'm wondering... if I get signed, I can then sign everyone's here and
they have the same basic trust level that I do? Kinda new to that part
of the PGP stuff.
Maybe we could try to organize a key signing party at OLF. Tons of geeks
there. We have a guide here (not sure if its for outside use, I'll have
to check) for setting it up on Windows in under one hour (well worth the
sacrificed time, IMO), we could pass that out as well.
Actually:

Its a public document anyways.
Most of us use it, but don't fully understand it anyways, so maybe we
can find a simple-English guide (or maybe I can talk the guy who wrote
that into writing one) explaining everything about it.
We may or may not have a booth down there this year, but we can provide
printed copies of the above article and a simple-English guide if we can
find/write one.

Very interesting, at work we use a "GPG" which my boss has set up &
calls the "Group Policy Guidelines." However, in our case I suppose the
"GNU Privacy Guard" is much more appropriate.
Thanks Paul, I you really do learn something new every day, lol.

No no! Quite alright!
Gnu Privacy Guard[1][2] ( which is open-source PGP ( haha! ) )
They are a way of establishing absolute identity. We sign them in
person, with IDs, to verify who is who. This creates a "Ring of trust"
so that any person inside the ring can trust anyone inside the ring by
the transitive property of trust :)
By keysigning, we make the ring stronger -- It is our DUTY and RIGHT
to sign keys ( trying to sound like a military recruiter here ). It's
a cool way to meet other nerds, too.
