For those that have added your PGP key to the keyring at biglumber, thank you. If you have not yet submitted your key, please do so, and know that you can safely ignore the remainder of this message. At NANOG 32 we will be trying out a new, hopefully greatly improved method for signing keys for those who have submitted their key in advance. It is our hope that this will greatly expedite the signing process in order to minimize time away from any beer BoF. To partake in this new process, you must do the following: 1. Download the early submission NANOG 32 key list from here: <http://aharp.ittns.northwestern.edu/tmp/nanog32-earlykeys> 2. Verify the MD5 and SHA-1 message digest for the above file. Your calculation of those values should be as follows: MD5: b008f14388cb2abbf1c695808a40b1eb SHA-1: 22737af62b1278590074bdabebb0b3d9f57d53b0 3. Bring a hard copy of the key list and your calculated message digest values with you to the keysigning event on Monday night. The file above is a snapshot from the keyring on biglumber at UTC 14:00, Friday, October 15. There were a total of 27 keys on the keyring at that time. After a brief PGP introduction Monday night, I'll read aloud the message digest values for the file in the link above (they should match the values in this message shown above). Each participant in the early key list simply has to confirm or deny that the fingerprint from the file is indeed their's. For those in this group, there is no need to read aloud your entire fingerprint. Of course, you still need to go around and verify identities as we've always done. This is done according to your own policy, but it is recommended that you have at least two trustworthy forms of picture identification (e.g. driver's license and passport). Additionally I will bring the hard copies of the key list, as of 6:00 p.m., local event time, to the keysigning event. This will include all keys, including those submitted after UTC 14:00, Friday, October 15. Signing keys between early and later submission groups will occur in the traditional fashion. If you have any trouble obtaining the key list, verifying the message digest values above or even have general questions about the process feel free to shoot me an email off list.
