GPG Key Trust
by dervish on Sep.17, 2012, under Linux
When importing a public key onto another machine, you may have configure gpg to
trust the key. Otherwise, when you use the key to do encryption, you may
see a prompt like this:
It is NOT certain that the key belongs to the person named
in the user ID. If you *really* know what you are doing,
you may answer the next question with yes.
Use this key anyway? (y/N)
To trust the key, run:
gpg --edit-key NAME
GPG will output some information, and show a line like:
trust: undefined validity: unknown
You will be at a console, and you have to type "trust":
Command> trust
Please decide how far you trust this user to correctly verify other users' keys
(by looking at passports, checking fingerprints from different sources, etc.)
1 = I don't know or won't say
2 = I do NOT trust
3 = I trust marginally
4 = I trust fully
5 = I trust ultimately
m = back to the main menu
Your decision? 5
Do you really want to set this key to ultimate trust? (y/N) y
Type "quit" to quit. If you run gpg --edit-key NAME again, you will
see a line as below, which means the key is now trusted.
trust: ultimate validity: ultimate
