    Conference rules for the PUBLIC_KEYS echo:               rev.  2 JUL 01   
    Posting Frequency: 1st and 15th of the month.   
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------   
      
     1. The purpose of this echo is to provide a place to discuss   
        public-keys for data privacy within FidoNet and elsewhere. We also   
        consider electronic signature possibilities using public-keys and   
        discuss data and software encryption and the various schemes and   
        programs that produce them.   
      
        This is a companion conference to PKEY_DROP Echo. It is distributed   
        via the same channels as PKEY_DROP. It is highly suggested that   
        both echos be made available on systems that carry one or the   
        other.   
      
     2. Stay on-topic. Topics of keys and encryption and related privacy   
        and electronic signature issues are welcome. Others are not.   
       
     3. No politics [except as it relates to privacy issues] and no   
        religion.   
       
     4. No personal attacks, slurs or innuendo. Stick to issues not   
        personalities.   
       
     5. No Private flagged messages in Echomail! Encrypted traffic using   
        public-keys is permitted for the exercise so long as it is   
        on-topic. Don't send person-specific encrypted traffic. Such   
        specific traffic belongs in direct Netmail. Encrypted traffic   
        should be in the form of ASCII-armored or personal key encrypted   
        messages that can be read by anyone with PGP 2.6+ and your   
        public-key. Include your public-key in a separate message before   
        sending such test messages in case the other end doesn't have it   
        or make them aware of how to get it from your system. If you just   
        want to post your public-key, use PKEY_DROP Echo.   
       
     6. Clear-signed messages are not encrypted and may be used freely in   
        this Echo.   
       
     7. This Echo may be traveling around the world so try to be concise.   
        Avoid excessive quoting for one-liner responses.   
       
     8. Be aware that Echomail is NOT secure. Don't take anything at face   
        value.   
       
     9. The posts in this Echo are the sole responsiblity of the poster. If   
        you need verification, use Netmail.   
       
    10. The Moderator will deal with off-topic traffic. Don't respond for   
        him. Links to this Echo will only be curtailed when absolutely   
        necessary so please don't make it necessary. [grin]

    A Moderator Emeritus is Jim Cannell at 1:15/21.  [KeyID: 0xB7822B3D]
