Hello Everyone,
It's time for Wikimedia Tech Talks 2020 Episode 3! *This talk will take
place on 29 April 2020 at 5 PM UTC*.
*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.
