 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]
