OpenPGP key ID
ID pgp_key_id
DatatypeNot PIIidentifierDraft
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).
Short identifier of an OpenPGP key, 64 bits written as 16 hexadecimal digits, often after 0x (gpg --keyid-format long): the low-order 64 bits of the fingerprint for version 4 keys and the high-order 64 bits for version 6 keys (RFC 9580). Key IDs can collide; the older 8-digit short key IDs are easy to forge and are not covered.
