]Abstract

GnuPG is a powerful tool. In this practical presentation, I will start with
an overview of OpenPGP, the messaging protocol that GnuPG implements. Then,
I will explain GnuPG's architecture, some good practices, and some neat
tricks. This talk is specifically targeted at people who already have a
basic understanding of how GnuPG works, and are interested in understanding
what's under the hood.

]Bio

Neal has been hacking on and contributing to free software for over 20
years. Among other projects, he has contributed to GNU Hurd and GPE (the
GNU Palm Environment). After g10code's highly successful fund raising
campaign at the end of 2014 for GnuPG, he was hired by Werner Koch to work
on GnuPG. During the past two years at g10code, Neal has implemented the
new trust on first use (TOFU) trust model, and fixed GNOME Keyring to
better interact with GnuPG, among other things.
