This thread is for collecting public keys. This solution will be temporary until a suitable site-wide PKI is available. Please remember: >this key collection is for ALL ANONS, regardless of board or even site >public keys are OPTIONAL, and should remain so >you may OPTIONALLY volunteer as much or as little additional information about yourself alongside your public key, the only recommendation I make is that visitors, tourists and other arrivals declare themselves as such >WHEN submitting public keys, the challenge is REQUIRED, and only public keys which submit a signed copy of the challenge text are likely to be respected >public keys NOT submitted with the corresponding challenge will be assumed to belong to somebody who is not actually present to submit their public key, while this is permitted it is recommended to please say so explicitly >there will be more opportunities to collect and receive public keys, do not worry if you miss this opportunity >it is expected that public keys >I may archive this thread later as a hard cutoff >it is my intention and expectation that anons with public keys will be able to help anons without public keys, in various ways to be discussed later >I am choosing the challenge text with some good-faith measures in mind, those who are interested in key collection are advised to discuss this with me later >if you realize later that you failed to generate a public key of the correct kind, do not panic, instead submit a corrected key at the next opportunity, and link the two keys together using mutual cryptographic signatures >if you wish to submit a public key of a different kind for any reason, use the same procedure, linking the two keys using mutual cryptographic signatures, and sign the challenge text with both >you may use the same key in multiple rounds of key collection The above may not be the same for every key collection. The keys for this key collection are two GnuPG-compatible NIST P-256 keys in plaintext, one for signing and one for encryption. In GnuPG these are: >ECC and ECC >NIST P-256 GnuPG may be downloaded at https://gnupg.org/ and is also available through the package managers of most Linux distributions. The relevant GnuPG commands are: gpg --full-gen-key --expert # generate a public key, remember to select the key parameters above, name does not matter but DO NOT actually use your real name gpg --armor --export <KEY> > <KEY-FILE.TXT> # generate the text version of the public key, for uploading gpg --local-user <KEY> --clearsign <CHALLENGE-FILE> # generate a signed copy of the challenge file <CHALLENGE-FILE>.asc, this may also be done to provide additional signatures as you feel appropriate Note that you will need to re-name the signed challenge file to a txt file. To submit your key, use the above commands with the provided challenge file, submit the text key, the signed challenge file and any supplementary signatures as a reply to this OP.
