admin UPDATE: digital signatures
1280×853 (24.4 kiB)


From now on, you can add PGP public keys in your account settings.

After adding your public key (in account settings), you'll be able to sign your own posts.


What you're actually signing is a short piece of text that looks something like this:

I, admin, hereby sign xxx.jpg with hash XXX.


How to create a PGP key pair using gpg:

- gpg --full-generate-key

- go through the interactive prompt

- after that, the key pair is stored in your gpg key ring

- look at the fingerprint of your key using gpg --list-keys

- export ascii-armored public key using gpg --export --armor FINGERPRINT


Notes:

- as of now, signatures cannot be removed

- you can only sign your own posts

- you can only add one signature to a post (using any of your keys)

- removing a key in your account settings removes all the signatures made with that key (all posts signed with that key will apper unsigned again)

- the website will prepare a command to create a signature using a specific key (the gpg -u option) and it chooses the first key it finds in db, for this reason it is beneficial to only upload one key (this is yet to be improved)
