Package org.pgpainless.key.certification

Class CertifyCertificate

java.lang.Object

org.pgpainless.key.certification.CertifyCertificate

public class CertifyCertificate
extends java.lang.Object

API for creating certifications and delegations (Signatures) on keys. This API can be used to sign another persons OpenPGP key. A certification over a user-id is thereby used to attest, that the user believes that the user-id really belongs to the owner of the certificate. A delegation over a key can be used to delegate trust by marking the certificate as a trusted introducer.

Parameters:

userId - user-id to certify

certificate - certificate
