Wikipedia has article that helped me some with the concept of public-key
crytography:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

There's a section in the article on trust called:

"4.5 Associating Public Keys with Identities."

What we will be doing Monday, I guess, is establishing small "web of
trust" - i.e. associating public keys with known people in a
face-to-face setting.
