PGP is a set of technologies and standards for a particular way of doing public key cryptography. It can be used for encryption but we primarily use it for digital signatures to confirm the authenticity.

We use PGP extensively in the Automaton.  All incoming messages need to be signed and all our outgoing notifications are signed with our private key.  You can verify the authenticity of these using our public key, which is shown below.

Because of this heavy reliance on PGP and the unsuitability of commercial libraries we are sponsoring the development of OpenPGP:SDK which is an open source C library that can be used for high speed PGP functions.  This library is based on the OpenPGP standards being developed by an IETF working group.

Our public key is identified by:
