title: GPG Key
description: Information about my public GPG key and how to obtain it.
---
## Intro
Before proceeding, I suggest reading up on GPG if you are unfamiliar with it.
You can find more information about GPG on the [GnuPG official website](https://gnupg.org/){target="_blank"}.
You can utilize the public key here to verify software and binaries released by me.
You can also use the key to encrypt emails you send to me. In that case, I would also need your public key so I can encrypt the emails I send back to you.
The excellent [Email Self-Defense Guide by the Free Software Foundation](https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org/){target="_blank"} describes how this process works.
> I do not use keyservers. This is the only place where I provide my public key. A key claiming to be mine somewhere else is definitely a fake.

## Obtaining my key
Start by downloading my key: [Foster Hangdaan's Public Key](https://static.fosterhangdaan.com/foster-pubkey.asc){target="_blank"}{download}.
Ensure that the key's fingerprint matches the one below:
```
pub ed25519/E48D7F49A852F112 2023-07-14 [SC]
Key fingerprint = DBD3 8E38 4B9E 1F4F 19F9 5BAE E48D 7F49 A852 F112
uid Foster Hangdaan <foster@hangdaan.email>
```
If the fingerprints match, import the key so that it's ready for use.
