*Title:* The Basics of cryptography using OpenPGP and GnuPG *Speaker:* Lars Wirzenius, Senior Software Engineer *Summary:* OpenPGP is the prevalent standard for cryptography for secure software distribution and GnuPG is its prevalent Open Source implementation. This talk introduces things at a conceptual level: what cryptography is for, why is it useful, and the basic use of GnuPG by creating cryptographic keys, using digital signatures, and encryption. No previous experience with GnuPG or OpenPGP is needed, but all examples will be using the Linux command line.
