It was good to see everyone who turned up at the cryptoparty on
Tuesday. I thought I'd share a couple of OpenPGP links that I think
might be useful.

The first is one that Mark pointed me to, and has a whole host of
suggestions for configuring GPG more securely:
https://help.riseup.net/pt/security/message-security/openpgp/gpg-best-practices

And here's an example gpg.conf file that implements these suggestions:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ioerror/duraconf/master/configs/gnupg/gpg.conf

I mentioned Diceware as a useful way of generating passphrases (not
just for OpenPGP, it's good for anything that can take a long
password, like SSH or WPA). You can get the wordlists from here (you'll
need to supply your own dice):
http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.html

Finally, I was asked about using OpenPGP with multiple devices
including mobile ones. The way I've done this is to use multiple
subkeys, an approach I mostly stole from here:
https://alexcabal.com/creating-the-perfect-gpg-keypair/

Let me know if there's anything else you want to know more about.
