List your PGP public key and experiment with me.

[70231f697a2b3c2b]

What can be done with a fingerprint? It can't be used to verify an encrypted message can it? I'm genuinely curious.

A fingerprint can be uses to identify and verify a public key .. its like a short version of the pubkey .. though you cannot derive the pubkey from it

In terms of crypto currencies .. the fingerprint would be an address to a public key

The fingerprint is a good way to verify that a public key that was transmitted via an unsecured medium hasn't been tampered with in transit.

For example, suppose you and I want to communicate securely, so you download my public key from the keyserver, or you ask me to email it to you.  In those cases, you shouldn't trust the public key you receive, since someone else could have replaced my public key with their own by the time you receive it.

So, you contact me via a more trusted/secure channel, such as a PM on bitsharestalk or call me on my phone, etc., and I send/tell you the key fingerprint, which you can then compare against the fingerprint of the public key you received.

This way, in order to fool you into using their public key to encrypt messages intended for me, an attacker would not only have to get you to use the wrong public key, but they would also have to impersonate me on the second channel to communicate the key fingerprint.

Bah PGP is flawed. It hasnt court on precisely because we have to do this step of sharing public keys.

Thankfully we now have a better solution: registering easy to remember names on a blockchain.

That makes no sense.

Everyone please be careful to follow best practices with handling your keys, including e.g. backing up revocation certificates if you are submitting to keyservers, etc.

Hey Vikram, do you have a link to some best practices? I'm interested in learning what "revocation certificates" are. I'll do some quick Googling...

I actually posted a guide earlier in this thread that had a lot of the best practices (https://help.riseup.net/en/security/message-security/openpgp/best-practices), although it is written for the CLI application GnuPG for Linux.

-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

[xeroc]

Bah PGP is flawed. It hasnt court on precisely because we have to do this step of sharing public keys.

Thankfully we now have a better solution: registering easy to remember names on a blockchain.

OpenPGP is a protocol that can be made user friendly. The technology is not flawed, only obscured by a learning curve that can (and will) be made easier for the lay user in the future.

Reminder of my prev. post here ...
 You can put the fingerprint into the public field of you bts account

What can be done with a fingerprint? It can't be used to verify an encrypted message can it? I'm genuinely curious.

A fingerprint can be uses to identify and verify a public key .. its like a short version of the pubkey .. though you cannot derive the pubkey from it

In terms of crypto currencies .. the fingerprint would be an address to a public key
