Retrieving the Replicant release key

In the following, KEY_ID needs to be replaced with the right key ID from above.

From a key server (recommended)

You can retrieve our signing key from a public key server and import it to your GPG keyring using:

gpg --recv-key KEY_ID

Errors may occur if GPG is not properly configured. Following a guide like this should ensure that the key is retrieved securely.

From our releases

A copy of our signing key is shipped with every Replicant release, distributed with Replicant images.
Once downloaded, the key can be imported to your GPG keyring using:

gpg  --armor --import path/to/KEY.asc

Establishing a chain of trust

In order to establish a chain of trust, you are encouraged to retrieve our release key physically when meeting a trusted Replicant developer and sign it with your own key.

You can see the signatures the release key is already signed with running:

gpg --list-sigs KEY_ID

If a key you already trust is among these signatures, a chain of trust is established between your key and the release key. However, this chain of trust is not as strong as the direct one you establish when you personally verify and sign the release key.
