-!!!Signing Someone's Key
-After you have met someone in person and they have told you what their key ID (or fingerprint) is, and you have verified that they are who they say they are, you can sign their key.
-
-1. Get their key (eg from a keyserver)
- $ gpg --recv-key 2F33F144
-2. Sign their key
- $ gpg --sign-key 2F33F144
-3. Send it back to one of the GPG [KeyServer]s so that others can see that you've signed it
- $ gpg --send-key 2F33F144
-(You may have to specify your key server on the command line for the above commands).
-
-Signing keys is crucial for authentication (rather than simply encryption) purposes. See the WhySignEmail page.
