PGP public key

Encryption and signature verification

PGP Key

If you'd like to send me encrypted messages or verify the authenticity of my communications, you can use my PGP public key below.

I tend to use this key for signing email and git commits and releases. So should you!

Download the public key as a file:

Download Public Key (.asc)

The armored key is kept as a separate plain-text file so it can be downloaded cleanly in any browser.
