<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>

- To sign Tails released images

To certify other cryptographic public keys needed for Tails development

The secret key material will never be stored on an online server or on systems managed by anyone other than Tails core developers.

Stored on OpenPGP smartcards owned by those who need them. Smartcards ensure that the cryptographic operations are done on the smartcard itself and that the secret cryptographic material is not directly available to the operating system using it.

- Expiration date: same as the primary key.

To get this OpenPGP public key, download it from this website: [[!tails_website tails-signing.key]].
