Folks,
I am not sure if this is going to be on-topic here, but it's
a crypto list, and what I am doing is crypto.
I am teaching an intro class on internet security here at the Uni
Zurich. I would like my students (130 of them) to learn how to use
GnuPG or PGP, thereby advocating a little ;^>.
I am going to require them to generate a key, have it signed by at
least another member of the class, upload it to a keyserver, then
sign an email to me containing some answers to basic crypto
questions. They have a month to complete this, so it's more than
fair.
The only problem I have is how to prevent them from calling or
emailing each other to sign their keys quickly. Is there some way
you could conceive that I could require them to perform standard
keysigning protocol? I'll have them drink a beer with one another,
that's 50% of the selling argument, but it won't persuade all of
them.
What do you think? I am grateful for any input, off-list preferably.
I shall report back to the list with the synthesis (Reply-To set).
Thanks,
