Description-en: OpenPGP key signing and exchange for humans
monkeysign is a tool to overhaul the OpenPGP keysigning experience
and bring it closer to something that most primates can understand.
.
The project makes use of cheap digital cameras and the type of bar
code known as a QRcode to provide a human-friendly yet still-secure
keysigning experience.
.
No more reciting tedious strings of hexadecimal characters. And, you
can build a little rogue's gallery of the people that you have met
and exchanged keys with!
.
Monkeysign is the commandline signing software, a caff
replacement. Monkeyscan is the graphical user interface that scans
qrcodes.
