It's up to you to assign a value here; this value will never be exported
|
||
|
to any 3rd party. We need it to implement the web-of-trust; it has nothing
|
||
|
to do with the (implicitly created) web-of-certificates.

.#gpg.edit_ownertrust.set_ultimate.okay
|

# fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.
|
||
|
To build the Web-of-Trust, GnuPG needs to know which keys are
|
||
|
ultimately trusted - those are usually the keys for which you have
|
||
|
access to the secret key. Answer "yes" to set this key to
|
||
|
ultimately trusted
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
.#gpg.untrusted_key.override

|
# fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.
|
||
|
If you want to use this untrusted key anyway, answer "yes".

.#gpg.keygen.algo
|

|
# fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.
|
||
|
Select the algorithm to use.
|
||
|
|
||
|
DSA (aka DSS) is the Digital Signature Algorithm and can only be used
|
||
|
for signatures.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Elgamal is an encrypt-only algorithm.
|
||
|
|
||
|
RSA may be used for signatures or encryption.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The first (primary) key must always be a key which is capable of signing.
|
||
|
.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.#gpg.keygen.algo.rsa_se
|
||
|
# fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.
|
||
|
In general it is not a good idea to use the same key for signing and
|
||
|
encryption. This algorithm should only be used in certain domains.
|
||
|
Please consult your security expert first.

|

|
Enter the required value as shown in the prompt.
|
||
|
It is possible to enter a ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD) but you won't
|
||
|
get a good error response - instead the system tries to interpret
|
||
|
the given value as an interval.

|
When you sign a user ID on a key, you should first verify that the key
|
||
|
belongs to the person named in the user ID. It is useful for others to
|
||
|
know how carefully you verified this.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"0" means you make no particular claim as to how carefully you verified the
|
||
|
key.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"1" means you believe the key is owned by the person who claims to own it
|
||
|
but you could not, or did not verify the key at all. This is useful for
|
||
|
a "persona" verification, where you sign the key of a pseudonymous user.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"2" means you did casual verification of the key. For example, this could
|
||
|
mean that you verified the key fingerprint and checked the user ID on the
|
||
|
key against a photo ID.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"3" means you did extensive verification of the key. For example, this could
|
||
|
mean that you verified the key fingerprint with the owner of the key in
|
||
|
person, and that you checked, by means of a hard to forge document with a
|
||
|
photo ID (such as a passport) that the name of the key owner matches the
|
||
|
name in the user ID on the key, and finally that you verified (by exchange
|
||
|
of email) that the email address on the key belongs to the key owner.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that the examples given above for levels 2 and 3 are *only* examples.
|
||
|
In the end, it is up to you to decide just what "casual" and "extensive"
|
||
|
mean to you when you sign other keys.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you don't know what the right answer is, answer "0".

|
|
||
|
.#gpg.keyedit.sign_all.okay
|
||
|
# fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.
|
||
|
Answer "yes" if you want to sign ALL the user IDs
|
||
|
.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.#gpg.keyedit.remove.uid.okay
|
||
|
# fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.
|
||
|
Answer "yes" if you really want to delete this user ID.
|
||
|
All certificates are then also lost!
|
||
|
.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.#gpg.keyedit.remove.subkey.okay
|
||
|
# fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.
|
||
|
Answer "yes" if it is okay to delete the subkey
|
||
|
.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.#gpg.keyedit.delsig.valid
|
||
|
# fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.
|
||
|
This is a valid signature on the key; you normally don't want
|
||
|
to delete this signature because it may be important to establish a
|
||
|
trust connection to the key or another key certified by this key.
|
||
|
.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.#gpg.keyedit.delsig.unknown
|
||
|
# fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.
|
||
|
This signature can't be checked because you don't have the
|
||
|
corresponding key. You should postpone its deletion until you
|
||
|
know which key was used because this signing key might establish
|
||
|
a trust connection through another already certified key.
|
||
|
.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.#gpg.keyedit.delsig.invalid
|
||
|
# fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.
|
||
|
The signature is not valid. It does make sense to remove it from
|
||
|
your keyring.
|
||
|
.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.#gpg.keyedit.delsig.selfsig
|
||
|
# fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.
|
||
|
This is a signature which binds the user ID to the key. It is
|
||
|
usually not a good idea to remove such a signature. Actually
|
||
|
GnuPG might not be able to use this key anymore. So do this
|
||
|
only if this self-signature is for some reason not valid and
|
||
|
a second one is available.

||
|

||
|
|
||
|
.#gpg.keyedit.updpref.okay
|
||
|
# fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.
|
||
|
Change the preferences of all user IDs (or just of the selected ones)
|
||
|
to the current list of preferences. The timestamp of all affected
|
||
|
self-signatures will be advanced by one second.

Answer "yes" if it is okay to overwrite the file

||
|
.

||
|
|
||
|
.#gpg.openfile.askoutname
|
||
|

Please enter a new filename. If you just hit RETURN the default
|
||
|
file (which is shown in brackets) will be used.

|
.#gpg.ask_revocation_reason.code
|
||
|
# fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.
|
||
|
You should specify a reason for the certification. Depending on the
|
||
|
context you have the ability to choose from this list:
|
||
|
"Key has been compromised"
|
||
|
Use this if you have a reason to believe that unauthorized persons
|
||
|
got access to your secret key.
|
||
|
"Key is superseded"
|
||
|
Use this if you have replaced this key with a newer one.
|
||
|
"Key is no longer used"
|
||
|
Use this if you have retired this key.
|
||
|
"User ID is no longer valid"
|
||
|
Use this to state that the user ID should not longer be used;
|
||
|
this is normally used to mark an email address invalid.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.#gpg.ask_revocation_reason.text
|

# fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.
|
||
|
If you like, you can enter a text describing why you issue this
|
||
|
revocation certificate. Please keep this text concise.
|
||
|
An empty line ends the text.
