Pius

Pius is a wonderful tool that software enthusiasts and users could use for free. It is an open-source tool specially designed to make the PGP Keysigning Party process more secure and less troublesome. By simplifying the tedious process of signing all UIDs on all keys at the PGP Keysigning party, Pius makes it a breeze.

You only need to confirm the verification fingerprints, and Pius will then separately sign each UID on each key. After the signing process, Pius will PGP/Mime encrypt each UID on the key and send it to the recipient's email address covered by the encryption.

If you are not familiar with PGP keysigning parties, you can find helpful resources on the PGP site, particularly the signing page. After the party, you need to sign the keys of everyone that joined the party and had proper identification. The task of getting the signed keys back to the owners is already time-consuming. To ensure each UID's identity is verified, which also means verifying the email addresses, you would need to sign each UID separately, leading to the import-sign-export-delete process.

This manual process can take a lot of time, but Pius can simplify it for you. By confirming the fingerprint of each key, Pius will take over the responsibility of signing each UID, minimizing the key cleanly, and using PGP/Mime email to send an encrypted copy to the email address in the UID. Overall, Pius is easy to use and highly recommended for anyone who wants security and efficiency in their PGP Keysigning Party.
