Contacting Red Hat securely

The Red Hat Security Response Team use a GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG or GPG) key to secure communications. Mail sent to secalert@redhat.com can be encrypted with this public key. We expect to change the key we use from time to time. Should we change the key, the previous keys will be revoked and the rhsa-announce mailing list will be notified of the change.

Please do not send messages encrypted with this public key to any address other than security@redhat.com and secalert@redhat.com. We are unable to accept orders or other non–security-related email which is encrypted with this public key.

RPM package signing

We use a number of GPG keys to sign our software packages. The necessary public keys are included in the relevant products and are used to automatically verify software updates. You can also verify the packages manually using the keys on this page.

Run the following command to verify an RPM package for a Red Hat product:

rpm --checksig -v <filename>.rpm

The output of this command shows if the package is signed, and which key signed it.

Release package signing

Please do not use package signing keys to encrypt email messages. Refer to the "Contacting Red Hat securely" section for secure communication information.
