Key consistency checks

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.

Note regarding UIDs: The UID I upload and work with Debian packages on is teward@ubuntu.com. However, as that is an email alias that goes to my primary email account, my primary email account teward@thomas-ward.net is on here as an additional UID in order to allow mail encryption and signatures to work from my primary account when I am unable to send as the ubuntu.com alias. For all intents and purposes, the teward@ubuntu.com is the primary UID, the secondary UID is only there for email continuity purposes for email signatures, encryption, etc. |
