This record is a draft: it has not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong. Do not rely on it for compliance decisions. Help improve it (see CONTRIBUTING.md).
Fingerprint of an OpenPGP key: 40 hexadecimal digits (SHA-1) for version 4 keys and 64 hexadecimal digits (SHA-256) for version 6 keys of RFC 9580. GnuPG prints a version 4 fingerprint as ten groups of four digits with a double space in the middle. Without spaces a version 4 fingerprint looks like a plain SHA-1 hash: use the field name or context.
