SSH and GPG

Category: Computer, Linux, Ubuntu / Tags: no tag / Add Comment

This weekend I’m going to be presenting a demo on ssh/gpg (e.g., cryptography and secure communications on Linux) at the Atlanta Linux Festival.  Some of the things I intend to cover include:

  • Basic SSH usage.
  • Public Key Authentication
  • SSH Tunneling
  • SSH Socks Emulation
  • GPG key generation
  • GPG signing and encryption (command-line)
  • Thunderbird integration (enigmail)

If anyone has any input on additional points to be covered or anything of that nature, please drop me a comment here or send me an email at david -at- webgroup -dot- org.

    Might want to mention something about adding GPG support to vi so that you can vi a .gpg file and inline decrypt it.
