   <title>What is a key fingerprint?</title>
 
-  <p>Short introductory text...</p>
+  <p>The fingerprint of a key is a unique sequence of characters and numbers
+  that identifies the key. Just like the thumbprints of two different people,
+  the fingerprints of two different keys can never be identical. The
+  fingerprint is the best way to identify a particular key.</p>
+
+  <p>A key has several properties like the name and email of the key owner,
+  key type, key expiration date and so on. If you find two keys that have the
+  exact same properties, the only way to identify the key you are looking for
+  is to compare the fingerprints of the two keys with the fingerprint of the
+  key you require.</p>
+
+  <p>It is the fingerprint of a key that is verified when you try to login to
+  a remote computer using <link xref="what-is-ssh-key">SSH</link>. While
+  <link xref="key-signing">signing</link> a
+  <link xref="what-is-pgp-key">PGP</link> key, you must always check the key
+  fingerprint to ensure that you are signing the correct key.</p>
