First OpenPGP conference

2016-08-24T00:00:00+00:00

The German Unix User Group (GUUG) is pleased to announce the first public conference on the OpenPGP protocol taking place in Cologne, Germany on September 8+9, 2016.

OpenPGP.conf is a conference for users and implementers of the OpenPGP protocol, the popular standard for encrypted email communication and protection of data at rest. That protocol is the foundation of encryption software like PGP, GnuPG, Mailvelope, OpenKeyChain, and others.

OpenPGP.conf is a place to meet, discuss, and learn about latest developments of OpenPGP aware applications and what technical measures can be deployed to repel the ever increasing trend to mass surveillance.

Topics are:

The OpenPGP protocol and its planned revision
Current status of OpenPGP applications
Interesting use cases
Key discovery and distribution
Ubiquitous end-to-end encryption
Security analysis
User interface studies
Anonymous mail and the spam problem
