# security

This repository contains:

1. The public key for [email protected]

2. Signed messages containing the hashes of some QRL releases in order that they may be verified

QRL network security issues can be directed to the QRL development team at ```[email protected]```

Should the matter be sensitive, PGP/GPG can be used using the public key contained in this repository.
