[Chester LUG] An idea

[Michael Crilly]

Cryptography is hard to get right. The best solution is to generate a password protected 4096 bit RSA key and publish the finger print to a Twitter account people know you by. Facebook also works. That way, people and verify a finger print is yours based on your Tweet/Facebook. Obviously then publish the public key to pgp.mit.edu <http://pgp.mit.edu/> and you’re done. Don’t try and invent your own scheme.

Vagrant + Ansible, my friend. I think you’re trolling me now. Has someone let you use a computer drunk? :P
