43 <p>This page contains information on the current and past archive
44 signing keys. The release files are signed by an automatic archive
45 signing key in order to allow verification that software being downloaded
46 has not been interfered with.</p>
48 <p>Please note that as this page is not available by a secure
49 mechanism (for instance https), you cannot rely on keys or information
50 available here for verification purposes. The details here are
51 for information only.</p>
53 <h2>Which release should be signed with which key?</h2>
54 <p>Stable releases are signed by both the ftp-master automatic archive signing
55 key in use at the time of the release, and a per-release stable key. Release
56 files for other releases (proposed-updates, testing, testing-proposed-updates,
57 unstable and experimental) are signed only by the ftp-master automatic key.</p>
59 <p>The security archive is signed by the normal ftp-master key only.</p>
61 <p>The current procedure is that there is one ftp-master key per
62 release (former procedure introduced a new key once per year).</p>
68 <h2>Active Signing Keys</h2>

90 <h2>Retired Signing Keys</h2>
91 <p>The following retired and in most cases expired keys are
92 available. <b>Note that these keys are no longer in use and are
93 listed here for reference purposes only</b>:
95 <li><a href="/keys/ziyi_key_2002.asc">/keys/ziyi_key_2002.asc</a></li>

106 <div id="replacement">
107 <h1>Key Replacement Procedure</h1>
109 <p>When the archive key is to be replaced, a new key will be generated by one of the
110 ftpmasters. This key will then be signed by that ftpmaster and other ftpmasters and
111 members of the ftpteam (including verification by phone call of the fingerprint and
112 other details of the key to be signed).</p>
114 <p>Once the new key is prepared, it will be placed on this page, put into the relevant
115 archive packages and announced to debian-devel-announce well in advance of being used.</p>
119 <div id="revokation">
120 <h1>Key Revocation Procedure</h1>
121 <p>A revokation certificate for the archive key is produced at the time of the creation
122 of an archive key. The program gfshare (package
123 <a href="http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libgfshare-bin">libgfshare-bin</a>)
124 (a Shamir's secret sharing scheme implementation) is then used to produce 12 shares of
125 which 7 are needed to recover the revokation cert.
126 This procedure is for use in emergencies only (such as losing ftp-master.debian.org and
127 all of the backups, a hopefully unlikely event) as the key can normally be used to produce
128 its own revokation certificate.</p>
132 <h1>Key Backup / Restore Procedure</h1>
133 <p>After the creation of the archive key, the secret part of it will be backed up in one additional
134 way. The program gfshare (package
135 <a href="http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libgfshare-bin">libgfshare-bin</a>)
136 (a Shamir's secret sharing scheme implementation) is used to produce 14 shares of which 9 are needed
137 to recover the secret key.</p>
141 <h1>SSSS holders</h1>
142 <p>The following people each hold one of the shares of the revocation certificate / private key.</p>
143 <h2>Revocation shares</h2>
144 <p>7 of those shares are needed to reproduce the revocation certificate</p>
