[[!meta title="OpenPGP keys"]]

Tails developers maintain several OpenPGP key pairs.

<div class="caution">

<p>Make sure to verify the keys that you download, because there are
several fake and maybe malicious Tails keys on the key servers.</p>

<p>For example, if you first [[authenticate the Tails signing key
through the OpenPGP Web of Trust|install/download#wot]], then
you can verify our others keys as they are all certified by the Tails
signing key.</p>
