  3. 573: Key consistency checks

Key consistency checks

This requirement has been approved by Mattia Rizzolo <mattia@debian.org> 6 years, 3 months ago.

This process has been closed by gwolf on 2019-05-09: 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.

2019-01-11 16:18 andyli - hmm... I have just sent the key to keys.gnupg.net, pgp.mit.edu, and keyserver.ubuntu.com as well, clicked on the update button in https://nm.debian.org/process/573/keycheck, but the page still shows no new signature. yes
2019-01-11 10:43 mattia - send it to the general keyserver network, as that's what is used to pull keys from for the purposes of this check :) yes
2019-01-11 01:01 andyli - I've send my key with the 2nd DD signature to keyring.debian.org yesterday. I think it will take some time before it can be reflected in the nm interface. yes
2019-01-05 04:40 andyli - Yes, I'm going to collect another DD signature next week. Thanks for the reminder :) yes
2019-01-02 09:44 mattia - You'll need another DD signature to proceed. yes
