-1. Due to personal reasonswnereiz (0xFDFF2E13AA25BE72was not available and +1. We've found a workaround for importing keys on https://keys.openpgp.org 
-couldn't sign the warrent canary before the end of June 2019.+without User-ID. The instructions for verifying persmule's signatures have 
 +been added. 
 + 
 +Canary Verification Procedures 
 +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 + 
 +1. To verify biergaizi's signature... 
 + 
 +    a. Obtain the public key from any traditional OpenPGP Keyserver, such as 
 +    https://keyserver.ubuntu.com, and import the public key. The fingerprint 
 +    is 0x255211B2395A5A3E0E48A0F1FAD3EB05E88E8D6D. 
 + 
 +    b. Use the latest GnuPG in any operating system. 
 + 
 +2. To verify persmule's signature... 
 + 
 +    a. Due to the previous attacks on OpenPGP keyserverspersmule has published 
 +    the OpenPGP public key to https://keys.openpgp.org without a User-ID. Using 
 +    the standard method, it's impossible to import a OpenPGP public key without 
 +    User-ID. But since April 2013, we have developed a workaround, described 
 +    below. 
 + 
 +    b. Obtain the dummy public key from any traditional OpenPGP Keyserver, 
 +    such as https://keyserver.ubuntu.com, and import the public key. The 
 +    fingerprint is 0xEDFFE248ECFACDE3C805906804A40D21DBB89B60. Note that, to 
 +    import this key, one must copy and paste the key in ASCII from the Keyserver 
 +    website to a file or console and use the command "gpg --import". Due to a 
 +    technical problem, Using "gpg --recv-key" or "gpg --search-keys" does not 
 +    work. 
 + 
 +    c. This is a special dummy public key with its User-IDs and subkeys stripped 
 +    that we specifically created, leaving only a "stub" User-ID (with an invalid 
 +    E-mail address, "glahamm <yiam5Od@gliwrad.invalid>"). Its sole purpose is 
 +    allowing the subsequent import of additional subkeys. 
 + 
 +    d. Next, with the stub key already imported, obtain the public key from 
 +    https://keys.openpgp.org using the same fingerprint, and import this key. 
 +    Because the dummy key with its stub User-ID is already in presence, it'
 +    now possible to import the https://keys.openpgp.org public key directly.
  
-2We determined that this was not a result of any incidentAll statements of +    eUse the latest GnuPG in most operating system, the signatures made by

 +    signatures made with Brainpool curves, which are disabled on Fedora due to 
 +    potential patent-licensing problemscausing a "Unknown elliptic curve" 
 +    error.
