How do I verify a PGP key? (see who it belongs to) : pgppractice | Torhoo darknet markets

How do I find out the name associated with a PGP key? ie; see who it belongs to - or how that person named their key?

Back when I first learned PGP encryption (circa 2012) and used Windows (big no-no I know) we had GPG4WIN which gave you, in addition to Kleopatra, a program called GPA which did this by pasting the Key in question to the clipboard of GPA and clicking "Verify". It would then display whatever name and/or email that party gave it when creating their key.

I see a "Decrypt/Verify" button on Kleo, but it does not do the same thing that GPA used to do.

I would love to find out it was just something I missed, but I fear this isn't doable anymore.

How do I verify a PGP key?

Based on the post's title: signing party, key-server, t-shirt, etc.

Sounds as though you are after something else ...

It would then display whatever name and/or email that party gave it when creating their key.

From what's been described, sounds more like the 'certify' process in Kleo. Certify is when the user marks a key as trusted. Upon pasting an external public key into Kleo's notepad and subsequently click 'Import notepad', Kleo will present the details you mention (if available. if by "see who it belongs to" you are referring to 'name' or 'email', these are not requirements for key generation.) and will prompt you to ask if you'd care to 'certify' the new key.

Copy their Pgp key. Go to kleo,click on tools, click on clipboard. click on import, then it should come up.

Thanks! I actually knew this one but forgot it. It's really a "cheat" as the "Verify" button has no functionality.

OK lets say I already have this key already in my Kleo program, "On my keyring" as they say, and this is just some key I had saved as a text file and was wondering who it belongs to? If I go to import it, I will get the "Keys Imported 0" "Unchanged 1". Meaning it doesn't need to import it because I've already imported it.

I still don't know who that key belongs to because there really is no feature that identifies a key's owner.

A separate frustration is when someone, usually a newish vendor, names their key something completely different from their vendor name, thinking it's great OPSEC and they're outsmarting LE or something when nothing could be further from the truth. It only frustrates customer who are trying to encrypt a message to you, but can't find your key on their keyring because it's under something completely different. At least on Archetyp you can go on their profile and see the key and the name they gave it, but it's a lot of unnecessary work when all you had to do was use your vendor name.

TL;DR - What if I already have imported this key, and just found it in an unnammed .txt file and want to know who it belongs to?

On DrugHub, you can see the Certificate Name of any vendor when you're attempting to send a message just by clicking on the "Show/Hide Key" button that displays once you've started trying to send a message.

You really only need to use Archetyp and DrugHub. Any vendor that isn't on either of those isn't worth doing business with, and the other marketplaces could literally have been coded much better by my six-year-old child.

lol, mate, just something that triggered the global automod settings for dread. We've been seeing a few of those here and in /d/Opiates sub.
