Signing Key Download[edit]

In Whonix-Workstation ™. (Qubes-Whonix ™: anon-whonix)

notice Digital signatures can increase security but this requires knowledge. Learn more about digital software signature verification.

Securely download the signing key.

Display the key's fingerprint.

gpg --keyid-format long --import --import-options show-only --with-fingerprint satoshilabs-2021-signing-key.asc

Verify the fingerprint. It should show.

Key fingerprint = EB48 3B26 B078 A4AA 1B6F 425E E21B 6950 A2EC B65C

The most important check is confirming the key fingerprint exactly matches the output above. [2]

Verify OpenPGP signature.

gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.

This message does not alter the validity of the signature related to the downloaded key. Rather, this warning refers to the level of trust placed in the Whonix ™ signing key and the web of trust. To remove this warning, the Whonix ™ signing key must be personally signed with your own key.

Qubes Issues[edit]

Symptom: 

kernel: vhci_hcd: vhci_device speed not set
kernel: usb usb1-port1: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad

The official instructions by Trezor for Qubes OS https://wiki.trezor.io/Qubes_OSarchive.org lead to a security degradation because of running third party software inside the USBVM.

Ideas:

  • A) Create another sys-usb with a USB controller exclusively attached to that App Qubes. A HVM App Qubes with PCI pass-trough. And/or
  • B) switch off sys-usb altogether for example, if the system has only one USB controller and switch between using USBVM and not using USBVM. -> security issue https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/6368archive.org

Footnotes[edit]

  1. ↑ Required, otherwise Trezor Suite will show would show error "Trezor Bridge is not running". Maybe python3-hid is superfluous in some use cases. Package trezor Recommends: it.
  2. ↑ Minor changes in the output such as new uids (email addresses) or newer expiration dates are inconsequential.
