That is a digital signature which can be used to prove that I wrote the message that I sent and no-one modified it in transit. The signature is in the OpenPGP format. Many email programs can automatically verify OpenPGP signatures, but notably GMail cannot. Debian also uses OpenPGP to sign and verify package uploads and to sign and verify our apt repositories and to sign tags and commits in our git repositories. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenPGP https://help.riseup.net/en/security/message-security/openpgp/best-practices -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
