Join us for the first OpenPGP conference

OpenPGP.conf is a conference for users and implementers of the OpenPGP protocol, the popular standard for encrypted email communication and protection of data at rest.

OpenPGP.conf is a place to meet, discuss, and learn about latest developments of OpenPGP aware applications and what technical measures can be deployed to repel the ever increasing trend to mass surveillance.

Q & A

How is this conference related to GnuPG?

Although these pages are hosted under a gnupg.org address, the conference is independent of GnuPG or any other OpenPGP implementation. We use the GnuPG infrastructure merely for convenience and to make sure that material is hosted for the years to come.

Why Cologne, why a hotel, why not S/MIME.conf ?
