-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I, the holder of the OpenPGP key 0xA8DC7067E25FBABB, hereby describes the policy I apply when certifying other OpenPGP public keys. As per RFC 4880 §5.2.1 [1], User IDs can be certified using four distinct levels, which are dubbed “generic” (level 0 in GnuPG manuals), “persona” (level 1), “casual” (level 2), and “positive” (level 3) [1]. Here is how I appreciate and use these levels when signing a key: – I have used the “generic” certification level in the past, before deciding to apply the present policy (as it is the default level used by GnuPG), but I don’t use it anymore (starting from the publication of this policy); – I never use the “persona” certification level; – I use the “casual” certification level for a key whose fingerprint has been given to me directly by the keyholder; – I use the “positive” certification level if the keyholder also showed me some form of government-issued ID. I don’t emit “trust signatures” (RFC 4880 $5.2.3.13). I will update this document appropriately whenever I change my signing practices.
