  • Certify my public key ?

    From ThierryIT@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 15 16:30:26 2017
    Hi,
    Is there a way (correct) to certify my public key ? Something like a PKI
    but for a private person ??
    It seems to be possible with a Yubico key + PIV ... Didn't succeed yet.
    Thx

    PGP, GPG, etc., use a web of trust. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust
