-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- REMINDER: Meeting of the UK Cryptoprivacy Association - ----------------------------------------------------- When: Saturday, 8 May 1993, 1500 To be held at the offices of: FOREST 4th floor 2 Grosvenor Gardens London SW1W 0DH This is located at the corner of Hobart Place, a couple of blocks west of Victoria Station, and almost directly across from the dark green cabbie shelter. If you have trouble finding the place, please call the office on 071-823-6550. Or, call me (Russell Whitaker) on my pager, 081-812-2661, and leave an informative message with the telephone number where you can be reached; I will return the call almost immediately. Discussion will range from the usual general topics, such as the use of secure public key cryptosystems to protect message data, to specific topics, such as recent moves by the U.S. government to restrict choice in data privacy (reference recent discussion on Usenet groups, e.g. sci.crypt and alt.security.pgp). All are invited. Particularly welcome are members of the newly-formed UK CommUnity group ... the local EFF-in-spirit-if-not-in-name folks. Those who plan to attend should email me and let me know. Please. All attendees are requested to bring diskettes - preferably MS-DOS - with their PGP 2.+ public keys. As is usual at these gatherings, several of us will bring our laptops, and will sign public keys, subject to the usual caveats (reference the documentation for PGP 2.2, specifically files PGPDOC1.DOC and PGPDOC2.DOC). If you do not already have a copy of PGP 2.2 (MS-DOS), and would like to have a copy of this public domain program, please bring a formatted, medium or high density 3.5 inch floppy PC diskette; you will be provided a copy of the program. Of course, you might prefer to ftp a version of the program from one of the various archive sites. I suggest trying Demon Internet Systems, which carries the full range of PGP (Phil Zimmerman's "Pretty Good Privacy") implementations: directory /pub/pgp at gate.demon.co.uk. Meetings are of indeterminate time. Those who are interested are invited to join the rest of us at a pseudorandomly determined pub afterwards. Please note: - ------------ In the past few months, interested people have emailed me, requesting FAQs and special information mailings. I regret that, except in very unusual cases (e.g. working press), I cannot, in a timely manner, respond to these requests. I will, however - and for the first time - do a writeup of this meeting, which I will post in various places. What I *am* willing to supply is general information on our activities for the maintainers of existing FAQs, such as that for alt.privacy. FAQ maintainers can contact me at whitaker@eternity.demon.co.uk Russell Earl Whitaker whitaker@eternity.demon.co.uk Communications Editor AMiX: RWhitaker EXTROPY: The Journal of Transhumanist Thought Board member, Extropy Institute (ExI) ================ PGP 2.2 public key available ======================= -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.2 iQCVAgUBK+egtoTj7/vxxWtPAQFSFgQAjTPwfm8I5gaP85Yqm1Dh6IRIb6au2sBI THGLGpPGgEao3MAESN0Cmh3nH6IHdSRthR/Uro8CQcpyD4IgGw912wO2CEYy1K/l v0+n4y+2+YFV/X2LDNntP27G3+zP9N6wMJQs2JHNjExfTHaUKFg9Zb90wTvuU4Ce RIbjnZNNriU= =uFhH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
