Pius Description

Allows you to quickly and easily sign each UID on a set of PGP keys Pius is a free and open source tool designed to take the pain out of the sign-all-the-keys part of PGP Keysigning Party while adding security to the process.Pius makes signing all the UIDs on all of the keys at a PGP Keysigning party much simpler. It prompts for verification fingerprints, and then signs each UID on each key separately and PGP/Mime encrypt-emails them to their recipient.If you are not familiar with PGP keysigning parties you may want to reference my PGP site - particularly the signing page. Post party you need to, at a minimum, sign the keys of everyone who was present at the party and had sufficient ID. You then need to get those signed keys back to their owner.That can already be time consuming, but preferrably, you want to verify the identity in each UID, which means verifying the email addresses. There are a few ways to do this, but one of them is to sign each UID on the key individually (which requires import-sign-export-delete for each UID), encrypt-emailing that key to the email address in the UID. This can be incredibly time consuming.That's where Pius comes in. Pius will do all the work for you - all you have to do is confirm the fingerprint for each key. Pius will then take care of signing each UID cleanly, minimizing the key, and using PGP/Mime email to send it, encrypted, to the email address in the UID. What's New in This Release: · Fixes a typo in 2.0.2 which prevented proper error reporting when a key didn't have an encryption subkey (PIUS would raise an uncaught exception instead of reporting the error and moving on).
