|
## 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.
