<h2 id="trust">How do I know I can trust your key?</h2>
<p> There are a few ways to confirm where an email came from but checking
the sender address isn't a reliable way to check. Signing emails with a
PGP key can be a good way to verify an emails source but it isn't as
simple as receiving a signed email. </p>
<p> Once you have verified that the key used to sign the email belongs to
me, you can trust that any message signed with the key originated from me.
</p>
<p> You can check if the key is mine in several ways. </p>
<ul>
<li>If you trust this website, you can trust the key provided here.</li>
<br>
<li>If you know my contact details, you can confirm the keys fingerprint
with me.</li>
<br>
<li>If you do not know me and still need to verify the key, you could
video call me and verify the fingerprint and some photo ID.</li>
</ul>
<p> Once you've established that you can trust the key you can sign it with
your key. </p>
<p> View my key history and download my current PGP key <a href="index.html">here</a>.
</p>
<h2 id="integrity">
What do you do to keep your key secure?
</h2>
<p>
I'm going to provide instructions, showing how I create and manage my keys and showing how you can do the same
if you wish.
</p>
<h2 id="create">Creation</h2>
<p>
To create your key run the following commands.
<br>
<br>
<code>
gpg --generate-key<br>
</code>
