Signing Keys

We have a number of signing keys used for signing software releases. There are a number of different keys because there are a number of different ways of signing software. This list aims to be the comprehensive list of all the release signing keys that we use.

OpenPGP

We sign all of our releases using OpenPGP detached binary signatures in a .sig file.

Android APK

We currently have two signing keys: a 4096-bit RSA key used for all new apps, and a 1024-bit RSA key that we use for all apps that we first released before 2014. You can download the whole public keys and verify it using the OpenPGP signature:

4096-bit RSA

• guardianproject-rsa4096-signing-certificate.pem
• guardianproject-rsa4096-signing-certificate.pem.sig
• guardianproject-rsa4096-signing-publickey.pem
• guardianproject-rsa4096-signing-publickey.pem.sig
• You can see a survey of APKs signed by this key on Android Observatory:

1024-bit RSA

FDroid Repo

Our official releases are also posted on our own FDroid repo, which is accessible at https://guardianproject.info/fdroid/repo. The signing key for that repo is available here:

• guardianproject-rsa4096-fdroid-repo-signing-key.pem
• guardianproject-rsa4096-fdroid-repo-signing-key.pem.sig
