Improving the Web of Trust with GNOME Keysign

Making signing OpenPGP keys suck less
Workshopraum
Muelli
The keysigning problem helps to strengthen the Web of Trust which is the decentralised PKI in the OpenPGP world. It depends on people participating by signing other people's keys. However, when following best practises, the act of signing a key involves secure transfer of the OpenPGP key which contemporary casual key signing protocols for small groups address by exchanging the fingerprint of the key to be signed. The key will then be downloaded over an untrusted channel and the key obtained needs to be manually verified.
We will see a less stressful approach to signing keys which makes it easy to sign a person's key. It enables very small groups of people to casually hold very small key signing parties. The key idea is to automatically authenticate the key material before the transfer via a secure audible or visual channel. A Free Software implementation of the protocol will be shown and people are invited to sign their keys :-)

GNOME is a desktop that cares about its users and their freedom. To be free also includes to have the freedom to use your computer without having to fear of getting compromised or anyone listening to your communication. GNOME takes tries hard to put the user back into the control seat regarding security and privacy. We will see two examples of how GNOME gives you back that control. The first is a classic: The problem of signing OpenPGP keys. The second is the protection against malicious USB ...

What can we learn from small modifications and everyday resourcefulness around us? What parallels could we draw between hacking in the digital and physical spaces? How could the makeshift creations from others be inspiring for our own lives?

In this animated lecture performance, two derailed scholars engage in a desperate attempt to salvage the Internet: one claims interfaces such as Facebook are actually gamified hyper meta-fictions, programmed to enslave users by creating an illusion that they are living purposeful ‘cyberdramas’. The other will demonstrate how to break this immersive control system by literally time traveling inside the interface and changing its history, thereby unleashing an unexpected radical butterfly ...
