The more signatures that are from people you know and trust, the more trust you can have in the keys authenticity

This trust stuff is a big deal for software developers collaborating on projects and, in the case of my family, Christian missionaries spreading the word in hostile lands. For most other people, PGP is just a way of pretending to be Batman and Robin exchanging puppy memes without the Joker eavesdropping.

Authenticate with the key's Fingerprint.

To check a key's Fingerprint:

Open the Passwords and Keys program (Applications > Utilities > Passwords and Keys), and then import the key in question

Select the GnuPG from the left column

Right-click the key, and then select Properties

Under the Details tab is the key's Fingerprint (for example, the Tails developers fingerprint is A490 D0F4 D311 A415 3E2B B7CA DBB8 02B2 58AC D84F)

Compare the Fingerprint to that of others who have the same key in their possession. The more corroborating sources, the more trust you can have in the keys authenticity. If it is a popular key, an online search may provide a number of comparisons

If you believe the key is fake, you can delete it (right-click the key, and then select Delete)
