A physical protocol for keysigning events - seems like a very good idea
:-) good post.
How would you do this differently if done electronically - ie. mediated
by laptop, Smartphone or PDA (do they still exist?).
I would go cross-eyed reading a bazillion 'fingerprints' :-(
The event organisers can take photos, upload them (& keys/f'prints?) and
provide a wireless internet for key-signing in areas of the venue.
Registration desk is a good place to confirm identities with photo-id
and for individuals & the organisers to exchange keys.
Are people already doing this sort of thing at 'events'?
How would an electronically mediated mass signing event work?
cheers
