Quoting Bernhard Reiter <bernh...@intevation.de> (from Wed, 31 May 2023 16:55:05 +0200):
https://pgp.governikus.de/?lang=EN """ Governikus provides the online service for authenticating your OpenPGP key on behalf of the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). This online service compares the name read from your ID card, your electronic residence permit or eID card for citizens of the European Union with the name specified in your OpenPGP key. If the names match, your public key is electronically signed by Governikus, confirming the match. """ interesting, kind of cool. Obviously they cannot authenticate the email address so once I have a common name, we get collisions?
The signature is send to the email listed in the key. In case you share a name with someone which has a PGP key and you sign this key, the person(s) with access to that email account will get the signature.
