While I realize those key signing ceremonies are probably just a bunch of people sitting around playing games on their phones, waiting around for their turn to give their keys to someone who's typing in all of the appropriate commands, I want to believe they're in some sort of dungeon, wearing black, hooded robes and chanting Gregorian chants while doing it.

I dunno, maybe I'm just weird.

It's a little more interesting than your guess, but not quite as cloak and dagger as it could be.

Here's a good article about the ceremony itself: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/feb/28/seven-peop...
