Keysigning
Bring photo-id (drivers license, passport) and printed copies of your key fingerprint:$ gpg --fingerprint <your email address or key id>Check the photo-id of other people against the name on the key and get copies of their key fingerprints for reference. Give people a printed copy of your key fingerprint when they check your photo-id.
After the conference, sign the keys of the people whose identity and key fingerprints you verified:
$ gpg --recv-keys KEY_ID # fetch from keyservers $ gpg --fingerprint KEY_ID # check the fingerprint # only proceed if the fingerprint matches the one you saw! $ gpg --sign-key KEY_ID # sign the key $ gpg --send-key KEY_ID # send back to keyserverMake sure your key is on the public keyservers so that other people can sign it too:
$ gpg --send-key <your email address or key id>More information can be found in the GPG Keysigning HOWTO.
