Footnotes[edit]

  1. The trust level will be increased to ultimately. (This is because the command contains trust level ":6:".)
    The purpose of this command is:
    • A) to avoid the following warning when importing the key. And,
    gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
    
    • B) to avoid the following warning when verifying a file signed by that key.
    gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! 
    gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
    

    Advanced users are free to skip this step or use a different GPG trust level.
