Since key certification is more frequently referred to as key
|
||||||
|
signing, the method used to perform this function is =key_sign=.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The =key_sign= method takes four arguments: =key=, =uids=,
|
||||||
|
=expires_in= and =local=. The default value of =uids= is =None=
|
||||||
|
and which results in all user IDs being selected. The default
|
||||||
|
values of =expires_in= snd =local= is =False=; which result in the
|
||||||
|
signature never expiring and being able to be exported.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The =key= is the key being signed rather than the key doing the
|
||||||
|
signing. To change the key doing the signing refer to the signing
|
||||||
|
key selection above for signing messages and files.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the =uids= value is not =None= then it must either be a string
|
||||||
|
to match a single user ID or a list of strings to match multiple
|
||||||
|
user IDs. In this case the matching of those strings must be
|
||||||
|
precise and it is case sensitive.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To sign Danger Mouse's key for just the initial user ID with a
|
||||||
|
signature which will last a little over a month, do this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#+begin_src python
|
||||||
|
import gpg
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
c = gpg.Context()
|
||||||
|
uid = "Danger Mouse <dm@secret.example.net>"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
dmfpr = "177B7C25DB99745EE2EE13ED026D2F19E99E63AA"
|
||||||
|
key = c.get_key(dmfpr, secret = True)
|
||||||
|
c.key_sign(key, uids = uid, expires_in = 2764800)
|
||||||
|
#+end_src
