   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]  
    
   The Moderator is Mark Lewis at 1:3634/12.  [KeyID: 0xB60C20C5]  
   A Moderator Emeritus is Jim Cannell at 1:15/21.  [KeyID: 0xB7822B3D]
