  3. 907: Key consistency checks

Key consistency checks

This requirement has been approved by Pierre-Elliott Bécue <peb@debian.org> 3 years, 1 month ago.

This process has been closed by noodles on 2022-04-14: no further modifications are possible.

Potential problems

  • no UID found that fully satisfies requirements

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.

For the past 3 months, I have worked with Fabio Fantoni on the cinnamon packages.

For this past work, Fabio Fantoni sent mails using the email address fantonifabio@tiscali.it
which is the one they're using on nm.debian.org, and they signed their work and
email using a GPG key with fingerprint 2C41 D17C B7B8 4BD0 F9FB  51B3 6806 68AE 907F 101D.

I've made sure that they are able to decrypt encrypted messages sent to this key
and that they're able to sign messages with the same key.

Due to the long-term interactions we had, I'm convinced that Fabio Fantoni as they
present themselves on nm.debian.org is the rightful owner of both email
fantonifabio@tiscali.it and GPG key 2C41 D17C B7B8 4BD0 F9FB  51B3 6806 68AE 907F 101D.

2022-01-08 16:01 peb - Hi Fabio, Small ping about your intents regarding your GPG key signature. Cheers! -- PEB yes
2021-06-28 16:40 mattia - I'm afraid preining's key endorsement is not good enough for us. your gpg key has been created only on 2021-06-20, only 2 days before the endorsement. There is no way a key endorsement make any sense so soon: remember that a key endorsement is a recognization of a *long term* interaction *that used that key*, which obviously didn't happen here. Let's continue via email, since I have a suggestion. yes
2021-06-28 10:12 peb - Hi Fabio, Do you have plans to eventually meet some Debian Members who could sign your key? yes
