The German Unix User Group (GUUG) is pleased to announce public conference on the OpenPGP protocol taking place in Cologne, Germany on September 8+9, 2016.

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. That protocol is the foundation of encryption software like PGP, GnuPG, Mailvelope, OpenKeyChain, and others.

Topics are:

• The OpenPGP protocol and its planned revision
• Current status of OpenPGP applications
• Interesting use cases
• Key discovery and distribution
• Ubiquitous end-to-end encryption
• Security analysis
• User interface studies
• Anonymous mail and the spam problem
