+  <title>Sign keys</title>
+
+  <p>To show that you trust and vouch for the genuineness of someone's key, you
+  can sign it. A person's key must be signed only after you compare the
+  <link xref="pgp-userid">user ID</link> on the key with a valid proof of their
+  identity. If the two IDs match, the key is said to be trustworthy.</p>
+
+  <steps>
+    <title>To sign a key:</title>
+    <item>
+      <p><link xref="misc-key-import">Import</link> it into
+      <app>Passwords and Keys</app>.</p>
+    </item>
+    <item>
+      <p>From the list of <gui>GnuPG keys</gui>select the imported key.</p>
+    </item>
+    <item>
+      <p>Right click the key and select
+      <guiseq><gui>Properties</gui><gui>Trust</gui></guiseq>.</p>
+    </item>
+    <item>
+      <p>Press the <gui style="button">Sign this Key</gui> button.</p>
+    </item>
+    <item>
+      <p>Depending on how carefully you have checked the key, choose one out of
+      <gui style="radiobutton">Not at all</gui>,
+      <gui style="radiobutton">Casually</gui> or
+      <gui style="radiobutton">Very carefully</gui>.</p>
+    </item>
+    <item>
+      <p>Select if you want to revoke your signature at a later date, and if
+      you want to make your signature public in the checkboxes provided.</p>
+    </item>
+    <item>
+      <p>When you own more than one PGP key, select the key you want to sign
+      with from the list next to <gui>Signer</gui>.</p>
+    </item>
+    <item>
+      <p>Press the <gui style="button">Sign</gui> button to finish.</p>
+    </item>
+  </steps>
+
+  <note style="info">
+    <title>Can I sign my own keys?</title>
+    <p>When you <link xref="pgp-create">create</link> a new
+    <gui>GnuPG key</gui>, it is automatically signed by you. Any new subkeys
+    <link xref="subkeys-add">created</link> using a <gui>GnuPG key</gui>, will
+    also be signed automatically.</p>
