Members can create passphrase-protected, 10-year PGP keys. Friends exchange public keys after a request is accepted; private keys are never shared.
Posters can encrypt private gig details to the site's PGP key. The public title remains discoverable while protected content requires an account to reveal.
A public key locks the content. Your private key unlocks it. Only a matching private key and passphrase can open a PGP message intended for you.
