Other Important JTAN Keys

At JTAN we use PGP/GnuPG for general purpose signing and encrypting. Our public keys are on the servers. They are also available for inspection and download here.

Thank you for using the JTAN CA. Unlike many other supposedly "secure" Certificate Authorities, we prominently display our public keys for your perusal so you can check them directly. This is acknowledged by many to be the best to keep public keys secure: keep them public!
