  3. 1002: Key consistency checks

Key consistency checks

This requirement has been approved by Sam Hartman <hartmans@debian.org> 3 years, 2 months ago.

This process has been closed by noodles on 2022-01-04: no further modifications are possible.

Every Debian member needs a GPG key of sufficient strength. In addition, all keys should be certified so we can link them to a real-world identity.

The normal requirements are:

  • the key should be type RSA and version 4 or greater
  • the key should have the sign, certify and encrypt capabilities (subkeys are encouraged)
  • the primary cryptographic material should be at least 4096 bits
  • the UIDs used by an applicant to work in the project should be signed by at least two existing Debian members (1 for DM applications)
  • as an alternative to the previous requirement, the key can be endorsed (see link at the bottom of the page) by multiple Debian Members (the number of required endorsements depends on the endorsement's age and nature)
  • pseudonyms or anonymity are acceptable in certain circumstances

If the key does not meet these requirements, and you would struggle to create one which does, contact Front Desk.

Keys are first searched in hkps://keyring.debian.org. If no key is found, then the key will be imported from hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com/. Please ensure that you have sent your key to Ubuntu's key server. Sending public keys to keyring.debian.org will only work if your key is already in Debian's keyring and will only be taken into account after the Keyring Maintainers updated it. For Debian Maintainers and Developers, please remember to send your key to both servers.

This check will be approved manually by Front Desk as the application progresses.

Active key endorsements

(3 years, 2 months ago)		 
For nm.debian.org, at 2022-01-03:
For the past 3 months, I have worked with Mathias Gibbens on packages for the Go
packaging team related to his work on getting LXD on the archive (see #768073).

For this past work, Mathias Gibbens sent mails using the email address mathias@calenhad.com
which is the one they're using on nm.debian.org, and they signed their work and
email using a GPG key with fingerprint 0A34 55B7 CCDE 5C53 4374  7321 C0BA 812C 6C4D CB2E.

Due to the long-term interactions we had, I'm convinced that Mathias Gibbens as they
present themselves on nm.debian.org is the rightful owner of both email
mathias@calenhad.com and GPG key 0A34 55B7 CCDE 5C53 4374  7321 C0BA 812C 6C4D CB2E.

2021-12-29 23:59 gibmat - My current gpg key does not have any DD signatures. It is signed by my previous gpg key (which does have a DD signature). I will be relying on the key endorsement process from DDs who have been sponsoring my uploads. yes
