All I want for my birthday is for you to use PGP

Hey everyone, @steveklabnik here! It's my birthday, so I'm throwing a party! It's not just any party, though: it's a PGP Key party!

Bring no gifts, just your laptop, and we'll go over everything you need to know to start sending encrypted emails. And generally have a good time.

Learn about:

* The basics of public key crypto

* Generating public/private keys with pgp

* Setting up your mail client to encrypt mails

* the web of trust and key signing

Let's have some fun and throw a wrench into passive surveillance!

There'll be food, snacks, and drinks: both beer and non-alcoholic.
