<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
<h3 id="pgp-and-gpg">PGP and GPG</h3>
<p><a href="https://gnupg.org/">Gnu Privacy Guard</a> (GnuPG) is an Open Source implementation of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy#OpenPGP">Pretty Good
Privacy</a> (OpenPGP) specification. Its main purposes are digital authentication,
signature and encryption.</p>
<p>It is often used by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software">FLOSS</a> community to verify:
- Linux package signatures: Debian <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/SecureApt">SecureApt</a>, ArchLinux <a href="https://www.archlinux.org/master-keys/">Master
Keys</a>
- <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control">SCM</a> releases & maintainer identity</p>
<h3 id="trust">Trust</h3>
<p>To quote Phil Pennock (the author of the <a href="https://bitbucket.org/skskeyserver/sks-keyserver/wiki/Home">SKS</a> key server - http://sks.spodhuis.org/):</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You MUST understand that presence of data in the keyserver (pools) in no way connotes trust. Anyone can generate a key, with any name or email address, and upload it. All security and trust comes from evaluating security at the “object level”, via PGP Web-Of-Trust signatures. This keyserver makes it possible to retrieve keys, looking them up via various indices, but the collection of keys in this public pool is KNOWN to contain malicious and fraudulent keys. It is the common expectation of server operators that users understand this and use software which, like all known common OpenPGP implementations, evaluates trust accordingly. This expectation is so common that it is not normally explicitly stated.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Trust can be gained by having your key signed by other people (and signing their key back, too :) ), for instance during <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_signing_party">key signing parties</a>, see:
- <a href="http://www.cryptnet.net/fdp/crypto/keysigning_party/en/keysigning_party.html">The Keysigning party HOWTO</a>

Note: Use "gpg2 --full-gen-key" for a full featured key generation dialog.
GnuPG needs to construct a user ID to identify your key.
Real name: Marvin the Paranoid Android

You selected this USER-ID:
"Marvin the Paranoid Android <marvin@h2g2.net>"

We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.

<p>At this point, you will:
- be prompted for a secure password to protect your key (the input method will depend on your Desktop Environment and configuration)
- be asked to use your machine's input devices (mouse, keyboard, etc.) to generate random entropy; this step <em>may take some time</em> </p>
