In  reception party provides two cryptographic keys, for which he is identified in the future. Take care of their private keys!

If you lost one of the key party can replace him, after assuring the latter. With the loss of two key party shall immediately notify the host. His access to the git.alt stops to restore the keys.

Two keys can be recovered either through a personal meeting with one of the host, either by sending them a letter certified by one of the key participants in ALT Linux Team. In the latter case, the entire responsibility for the continued safety of the repository has the party, assured the keys.

Creating a SSH-key

If you do not have a SSH-key, so it can create the following command:

$ ssh-keygen

or (depending on the preferred religion)

$ ssh-keygen -t dsa

Editors are strongly encouraged to do with your password. To simplify the work with the keys with passwords, you can use SSH-agent.

The public key part of - file ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub (~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub respectively).

Creating a GPG-key

Create a new GPG-key, you can command

$ gpg --gen-key
In response to questions, select the type of key - DSA and ElGamal (you can select only the DSA, but then the key would be unsuitable for encryption), size - 1024bit. As an email, specify nickname@altlinux.org.

Modifying the existing GPG-Key

Check that the type of key - DSA and ElGamal, size 1024bit. Add the identifier of the key with the command

$ gpg --edit-key <key id>
Command> adduid
Please enter your name and email type  psevdonim@altlinux.org , then save your changes
Command> save

And export the public key part to be sent:

$ gpg --armor --export nickname@altlinux.org
