Process flow of the application "Authenticate PGP keys with AusweisApp".

On this website ( https://pgp.governikus.de), the personal PGP key can be authenticated free of charge using the online ID card function of the ID card or electronic residence permit and the AusweisApp. The service is provided by Governikus GmbH & Co. KG on behalf of the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).
For this purpose, the first name, last name and academic degree are collected from the ID document, as well as the user's e-mail address and public key. This is used to verify the uploaded key so that the user can use it to authenticate the signature. After the signature has been applied, the data is deleted. There is no storage of personal data. The complete processing takes place in a German data center.
