## What the hell are GPG keys

These implementations are encryption programs that provide cryptographic privacy and authentication for data communication. They are used for signing, encrypting, and decrypting texts, e-mails, files, directories, and whole disk partitions and to increase the security of e-mail communications.

## Why and How does Redbrick use them ?!?
Redbrick uses GPG keys to verify the tags of the Open-Governance repository. We do this by tagging the open-governance repository.

Redbrick will have 2 different keys during the tagging ceremony: an Authoritative Key and a Tagging Key.
Authoritative Key: This is a continuous key that will exist to add authenticity and continuity to the tagging key. You sign this to certify that it is Redbrick's key.
Tagging Key: This is a key made before the EGM that will expire soon after. This will only sign the tag of the repo. You sign this to certify that the Membership Meeting has approved the tag

## How the hell am I supposed to help???
