Please retreive the public key used the Web Key Directory (WDK).
A minimal version of the public key without signatures is attached at the end of this page. The full public key with signatures can be downloaded here.
I sign other keys at my discretion. A detailed key signing policy will be published at this page in the future.
Key signing policy
This document outlines the semantics of how I sign other people’s keys.
Signature levels
RFC 4880 outlines four types of signatures for certification of keys.
My policy for selected an appropriate signature type are roughly based on the ideas oudlined in the RFC:
- Level
0x10(Generic certification) - I will issue this type of signature for keys that represent a group or an organization.
- Level
0x11(Persona certification) - I will not issue signautres of this type, as I do not sign keys without verification.
- Level
0x12(Casual certification) - I will issue this type of signature after verifying the keyholders identity against a government-issued photo ID. I accept passports as well as national identity cards from the EU/EEA (especially if issued according to Regulation (EU) 2019/1157). I can only accept non-german ID cards if I have reasonable time to familiarize myself with the security features in advance. This verification is typically done in a face-to-face meeting.
- Level
0x13(Positive certification) - I will issue this type of signaure to people I personally know and have interacted with for a sustained period of time. This includes (but is not limited to) family, frineds, colleages, fellow students, etc. I will require verification against a government-issued photo ID on my discretion.
