v1.6.1, 12 Feb 2011
This policy is valid for all signatures made by the following GnuPG keys:
pub 1024D/E10F502E 2002-03-22
Key fingerprint = 53FC 5A87 27BE 1D30 FEB4 861A 948F D6A0 E10F 502E
uid Marcus Frings <protagonist!gmx.net>
uid Marcus Frings <webmaster!gothgoose.net>
uid Marcus Frings <webmaster!sc-delphin-eschweiler.de>
uid Marcus Frings <marcus.frings!rwth-aachen.de>
uid Marcus Frings <marcus.frings!gmx.net>
pub 1024D/BAB58229 2002-05-07
Key fingerprint = 0138 DA92 EDFF B27D D270 F86D B475 E207 BAB5 8229
uid Marcus Frings (Work) <marcus.frings!oc.rwth-aachen.de>
uid Marcus Frings <marcus.frings!rwth-aachen.de>
pub 4096R/1E899042 2011-01-10
Key fingerprint = 69E1 EE07 F7A6 AA8E 4A77 7B2A 7A06 8542 1E89 9042
uid Marcus Frings <protagonist!gmx.net>
uid Marcus Frings <marcus.frings!gmx.net>
uid Marcus Frings <marcus.frings!rwth-aachen.de>
Please note that the key 0xBAB58229 contains the revoked UIDs <marcus.frings!philips.com> and <marcus.frings!scansoft.com> which are no longer valid. To prevent spam the mail addresses in the UIDs from above are obfuscated on this web page (replace "!" with "@"). In the keys the real addresses are used.
These three keys will always be available on this page but the most current versions can usually be fetched from keyservers like subkeys.pgp.net/ or pool.sks-keyservers.net. You can get 0xE10F502E here, 0xBAB58229 here and 0x1E899042 here.
This policy was originally written on 2003-05-31 and will be followed from this date on but it may be replaced with a new version at any time. Content and structure of this document are strongly based on the OpenPGP Key Signing Policy of Marc Mutz and Jörgen Cederlöf but have been slightly modified from the original sources. From May 2003 to January 2011 this policy had been stored at http://www.sc-delphin-eschweiler.de/pgp/ but in February 2011 the document moved to http://www.gothgoose.net/pgp/.
I live in Aachen (Germany) and I am open to sign keys at any time. The easiest way for verifying keys would be to meet me here in Aachen. Another opportunity to get in personal contact would be to address me at certain computer related fairs (CeBIT, LinuxTag and so on). I am also listed at biglumber.com, a webpage about key signing coordination.
The signee (the key owner who wishes to obtain a signature to his/her key from me, the signer) must make his/her OpenPGP key available on a publicly accessible keyserver (see above for example keyservers).
The signee must prove his/her identity to me by way of a valid identity card or a valid driving licence. These documents must feature a photographic picture of the signee. No other kind of documents will be accepted. This also implies that the signee's key must feature his/her real name in order to be checked up on his/her identity card. A key which only contains a pseudonym will not be signed.
For people from outside the European Union I will check both of these two tokens (since I cannot assess their risk of fraud). Exceptions may be made if there is a good reason for me to do so.
The signee should have prepared a strip of paper with a printout of the output
gpg --fingerprint 0x12345678
(or an equivalent command if the signee does not use GnuPG) where 0x12345678 is the key ID of the key which is to be signed.
A handwritten piece of paper featuring the fingerprint and all UIDs the signee wants me to sign will also be accepted.
The above must take place under reasonable circumstances (i.e. ourselves not being in a hurry, exchanging key data at a calm place and so on).
After having received (or exchanged) the proof detailed in the above I will sign the signee's piece of paper myself to avoid fraud.
At home I will sign the UIDs which I was asked to sign. Each signature will then be mailed separately to the corresponding mail address of the single UIDs.
Depending on the character of the key which is to be signed by me I will use different levels of signatures:
You can use the pathfinder of Henk P. Penning at http://pgp.cs.uu.nl/ which gives you a simple text printout:
