+= MFPL Shared Keyring =
+
+MFPL uses an OpenPGP encrypted file, that is shared via git, to store root and encrypted disk passphrases.
+
+To help us securely read and create new keys, we use a program called [http://git.sarava.org/?p=keyringer.git;a=summary keyringer].
+
+Members of the support team can access the keys by following these steps:
+
+ * Checkout the keyringer software:
+{{{
+git clone git://git.sarava.org/keyringer.git
+}}}
+ * Add the path to your bash $PATH variable by editing ~/.bashrc and adding:
+{{{
+   export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/keyringer"
+}}}
+ * Checkout the MFPL key ring
+{{{
+git clone gitosis@git.mayfirst.org:mfpl/keys
+}}}
+ * Use the bash wrapper script in the MFPL key ringer directory to search for keys. For example, to find the passphrase for assata:
+{{{
+./pass assata 
+}}}
