Preparing to Authenticate Release (Setting up GPG)
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In other to keep releases authentic it's required that releases are signed before being
|
||
|
|
published. This ensure's that users of Tahoe are able to verify that the version of Tahoe
|
||
|
|
they are using is coming from a trusted or at the very least known source.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The authentication is done using the ``GPG`` implementation of ``OpenGPG`` to be able to complete
|
||
|
|
the release steps you would have to download the ``GPG`` software and setup a key(identity).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `Download <https://www.gnupg.org/download/>`__ and install GPG for your operating system.
|
||
|
|
- Generate a key pair using ``gpg --gen-key``. *Some questions would be asked to personalize your key configuration.*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You might take additional steps including:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Setting up a revocation certificate (Incase you lose your secret key)
|
||
|
|
- Backing up your key pair
|
||
|
|
- Upload your fingerprint to a keyserver such as `openpgp.org <https://keys.openpgp.org/>`__
