Summary: difficult to find the openssh code signing key on
openssh.org.
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: -current
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
ReportedBy: jsmith at purdue.edu
After the release of the report yesterday concerning the trojaned openssh, I
decided to verify the PGP signature on the distribution I had installed. I
spent perhaps 1/2 hour or more before I managed to track down the public key
of the signer so I could add it to my key-ring and verify that I'd used a
non-trojaned distribution. It wasn't obvious or easy.
It would be a great service to your user community if you made the signing key
easy to find on your web site. A top-level link would be nice, but even a
link from the download section would be good.
Thank you for your consideration, and keep up the good work on openssh!
