Date: 2020-04-29

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 is cryptography for?
* Why is cryptography useful
* 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.
