GPG Tools

Signing Party is a collection for all kinds of pgp related things, including signing scripts, party preparation scripts etc. caff is a script that helps you in keysigning. It takes a list of keyids on the command line, fetches them from a keyserver and calls GnuPG so that you can sign it. It then mails each key to all its email addresses - only including the one UID that we send to in each mail. pgp-clean takes a list of keyids on the command line and outputs an ascii-armored keyring on stdout for each key with all signatures except self-signatures stripped. Its use is to reduce the size of keys sent out after signing. (pgp-clean is a stripped-down caff version.) gpg-key2ps will output a PostScript file which has your Key-ID, UIDs and fingerprint nicely formatted for printing paper slips to take with you to a signing-party. Given one or more key-ids, gpg-mailkeys mails these keys to their owners. You use this after you've signed them. By default, the mails contain a standard text and your name and address as the From (as determined by the sendmail command). gpglist takes a keyid and creates a listing showing who signed your user IDs. gpgsigs was written to assist the user in signing keys during a keysigning party. It takes as input a file containing keys in gpg --list-keys format and prepends every line with a tag indicating if the user has already signed that uid. keylookup is a wrapper around gpg --search, allowing you to search for keys on a keyserver. It presents the list of matching keys to the user and allows her to select the keys for importing into the GnuPG keyring.
