Re: [ripe-list] RIPE NCC PGP-Key expired
by Andrew de la Haye 05 Mar '18

05 Mar '18

Hi Dominic and all, We are no longer PGP-signing our support emails, although we still accept PGP-authenticated updates to the RIPE Database. When we conducted our assessment, we weren't able to find a ticketing system that met our requirements and supported PGP. As the service was being used by a relatively small number of members, we decided that the benefits of the new ticketing system outweighed the PGP-signing service. It is also worth noting that the RIPE NCC public key was never meant for encrypted communication. It was only used for signing emails. However, we didn't notify members that we would not be PGP-signing our emails any more. This was an oversight on our part, and we would like to apologise for this.

Thanks for noticing this and bringing it up. One might say that since you are the first to notice and report this, almost a month after it expired, perhaps we should abandon PGP as a communication mechanism? Maybe we should ask the RIPE NCC to provide a more modern secure channel to communicate with them, such as Signal or some other open source encryption technology? Cheers, -- Shane
