Very interesting, at work we use a "GPG" which my boss has set up &
calls the "Group Policy Guidelines." However, in our case I suppose the
"GNU Privacy Guard" is much more appropriate.
Thanks Paul, I you really do learn something new every day, lol.

No no! Quite alright!
Gnu Privacy Guard[1][2] ( which is open-source PGP ( haha! ) )
They are a way of establishing absolute identity. We sign them in
person, with IDs, to verify who is who. This creates a "Ring of trust"
so that any person inside the ring can trust anyone inside the ring by
the transitive property of trust :)
By keysigning, we make the ring stronger -- It is our DUTY and RIGHT
to sign keys ( trying to sound like a military recruiter here ). It's
a cool way to meet other nerds, too.
