Q-CERT PGP key
As a good security practice, users should be sure to validate PGP keys they receive and not trust unvalidated keys. In the past, forged CSIRT PGP keys have been created and uploaded to public keyservers. It is important to validate your copy of the Q-CERT PGP public key to confirm that it is legitimate.
This PGP key has the following properties:
