At the moment, I'm trying to check the fingerprint of the oracle_vbox.asc key that I downloaded from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads: they provide the key and the fingerprint but no instructions for reviewing this information myself.



How do I show the fingerprint of the key I just downloaded?



apt-key finger oracle_vbox.asc shows the fingerprints of all trusted keys, which isn't what I want.

          • Is there an analogous command without using gpg? I mean, in SSH, I can do cat ./id_rsa.pub | awk 'print $2' | base64 -d | md5sum and it will return me an MD5 hash which is equal to the fingerprint hash of ssh -lf ./id_rsa.pub. Is there a similar way to do it with GPG public keys?

            @user3019105, no, there is not. The format of a PGP public key is a little bit more complicated. See RFC 4880 and the GPG source code for details.

          • The RFC says (about MD5 deprecated fingerprints): The fingerprint of a V3 key is formed by hashing the body (but not the two-octet length) of the MPIs that form the key material (public modulus n, followed by exponent e) with MD5., can't I get this MPIs' body given an ASCII Armor (Radix-64) public key file?

            Sep 13 '15 at 10:06











          • @user3019105, you can. You can duplicate what is already implemented in GPG. But such a command line would be quite more elaborate than the one you've posted for an ssh public key. Thus, it wouldn't be analogous.

          You have both the key and the fingerprint? Run:



          ssh-keygen -lf key.pub


          against the key to get the fingerprint.

          This works with GPG 2 (at least I could check it with versions 2.1.18 and 2.2.12):



          wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc
          gpg_home=$(mktemp -d)
          gpg --homedir "$gpg_home" --import oracle_vbox.asc
          # gpg: keybox '/tmp/tmp.CHoWuJBy7N/pubring.kbx' created

              @user3019105, no, there is not. The format of a PGP public key is a little bit more complicated. See RFC 4880 and the GPG source code for details.

            • The RFC says (about MD5 deprecated fingerprints): The fingerprint of a V3 key is formed by hashing the body (but not the two-octet length) of the MPIs that form the key material (public modulus n, followed by exponent e) with MD5., can't I get this MPIs' body given an ASCII Armor (Radix-64) public key file?

            • @user3019105, you can. You can duplicate what is already implemented in GPG. But such a command line would be quite more elaborate than the one you've posted for an ssh public key. Thus, it wouldn't be analogous.

            • Ok thanks, but I still need to find out how to get the body of the MPIs that form the key material the RFC talks about

              Sep 13 '15 at 10:19

















            • Is there an analogous command without using gpg? I mean, in SSH, I can do cat ./id_rsa.pub | awk 'print $2' | base64 -d | md5sum and it will return me an MD5 hash which is equal to the fingerprint hash of ssh -lf ./id_rsa.pub. Is there a similar way to do it with GPG public keys?

            my mistake, the command should be "ssh-keygen -lf" Do you still get a nerror?

            This works with GPG 2 (at least I could check it with versions 2.1.18 and 2.2.12):



            wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc
            gpg_home=$(mktemp -d)
            gpg --homedir "$gpg_home" --import oracle_vbox.asc
            # gpg: keybox '/tmp/tmp.CHoWuJBy7N/pubring.kbx' created
