[TriLUG] CAcert meeting -- how to prepare

[Alan Porter]

With just a few days to go, here's another reminder about
what you can do to prepare for the meeting...


IF YOU WANT TO MAKE YOUR OWN SSL CERTS FOR WEB/EMAIL

 - sign up for a CAcert account
 - go to the web site and print out several CAP forms
   blanks -> http://www.cacert.org/cap.php
   pre-filled-in -> select "US - WoT Form" on the web
 - you'll need to get at 50 points
   each assurer can give you up to 35 points
 - you'll need 1 form for each assurer
   (or 2 if you want to keep a copy for yourself)


IF YOU WANT TO ASSURE OTHER PEOPLE (VALIDATE THEIR ID'S)

 - you must already have 100 points
 - take and pass the Assurer's Test on the web
 - go to the web site and print out several CAP forms
   blanks -> http://www.cacert.org/cap.php
   pre-filled-in -> select "US - Assurance Form" on the web


Bottom line: (1) sign up for an account (2) bring forms.
