Fingerprint: D0F7 3E1D 9AAA EB2D 3BD0 808F D22B BD5E 104A 9793

To ensure the authenticity of my public key, make sure its fingerprint matches the one above. However, it's possible (although unlikely) that this website could be compromised, and the fingerprint changed to something else. For this reason, I strongly recommend checking multiple independent sources (such as my GitHub or X) for the fingerprint, and comparing the strings of letters and numbers to make sure they match.

Notice

This is a different public key than what I posted in the past. I made a transition to a more longterm solution for my pgp setup, and therefore am issuing a new public key. In the future, if another change is made, I will use this key to sign the newly issued one.

Expiration

My Master Key Never Expires. It is used to issue new subkeys, and revoke or extend existing subkeys. Each Subkey has a 2 year expiration date: Sept. 26th, 2026

What am I looking at?

Public keys such as the one I provided above can be used for verifying that the content on this website (as well as other places online) are actually written by me, Franco Lopez. This key can also be used to send me encrypted messages to ensure secure communication.
