Tails

How do we trust the signing key?

• One possibility would be to TOFU. But on second use, how do we identify that the user has trusted the key once? => verify if we can change a key’s trust level without signing it.
• Trust the Debian keyring.
  • installer needs to check if Tails signing key contains signatures from Debian keyring / Web of Trust. If not, how should it advertise the user that the key does not contain any signature which is also present in the keyring?

• Research if our public signing key should be packaged with the tails-installer or could we create a package tails-keyring which would be a dependency of tails-installer?
  • In Windows version the key could be contained in the package directly.
  • Deb packages are signed by Debian keyring, which increases the level of trust.
  • having tails-keyring as independent package would allow for easier updating in case of revocation or changes.
