GNOME Keysign is a tool to make signing OpenPGP keys as easy as possible.
This is the initial release.
Highlights
==========
* Securely exchange an OpenPGP key without needing to contact a keyserver
* Sign each UID separately
* Send encrypted signature to each UID via user's preferred MUA
Details
=======
GNOME Keysign attempts to enable many more people to strengthen the Web of Trust.
It consists of two parts: A server side and a client side.
The server side advertises your key on the local network.
The client side downloads the key from the local network and checks the integrity of the download.
The integrety is checked with data exchanged securely between the server and the client via the visual
channel.
That visual channel is implemented as a QR-Code and a barcode scanner.
