Sample Keys

This set of sample keys has been provided for tutorial purposes. These
are real keys of real people who created the product. The web of trust
can be illustrated by doing the following:

1] Drag the sample keys file in the same folder as this text file into
the PGPkeys window to import the keys onto your keyring.

2] Sign the "PGP Corporation Employee Certification Key" with your key.
You may also wish to sign other keys such as Phil Zimmermann's key as
signing his key generally allows many other keys in the world to be
considered valid.

3] Get Properties on the "PGP Corporation Employee Certification Key"


and move the Trust slider to Complete.

You will now see that all the keys you imported are considered valid.
The Employee Certification Key has signed all the User IDs and Photo IDs
of the imported keys.

The PGP Corporation Software Release Keys are also included in this set
of keys. You can use these key to verify that your copies of PGP come
directly from PGP Corporation by verifying the signature on your
distribution.
