Compare the fingerprint above with fingerprints published elsewhere (e.g. social profiles) before transmitting sensitive files. Use standard PGP command lines to encrypt reports or intake logs.

  1. Import our public key (`security.asc`) into your PGP client.
  2. Verify that the fingerprint in your client matches:
    XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
  3. When drafting an email to `security@detechtive.io`, select the option to encrypt and sign.
  4. (Optional) Export your own public key and attach it so we can write back securely.
