    NAME
           apt-key - APT key management utility
    
    SYNOPSIS
           apt-key [--keyring filename] {add filename | del keyid | export keyid |
    	       exportall | list | finger | adv | update | net-update |
    	       {-v | --version} | {-h | --help}}
    
    DESCRIPTION
           apt-key is used to manage the list of keys used by apt to authenticate
           packages. Packages which have been authenticated using these keys will
           be considered trusted.
    
    COMMANDS
           add filename
    	   Add a new key to the list of trusted keys. The key is read from the
    	   filename given with the parameter filename or if the filename is -
    	   from standard input.
    
    	   It is critical that keys added manually via apt-key are verified to
    	   belong to the owner of the repositories they claim to be for
    	   otherwise the apt-secure(8) infrastructure is completely
    	   undermined.
    
           del keyid
    	   Remove a key from the list of trusted keys.
    
           export keyid
    	   Output the key keyid to standard output.
    
           exportall
    	   Output all trusted keys to standard output.
    
           list
    	   List trusted keys.
    
           finger
    	   List fingerprints of trusted keys.
    
           adv
    	   Pass advanced options to gpg. With adv --recv-key you can e.g.
    	   download key from keyservers directly into the the trusted set of
    	   keys. Note that there are no checks performed, so it is easy to
    	   completely undermine the apt-secure(8) infrastructure if used
    	   without care.
    
           update
    	   Update the local keyring with the archive keyring and remove from
    	   the local keyring the archive keys which are no longer valid. The
    	   archive keyring is shipped in the archive-keyring package of your
    	   distribution, e.g. the ubuntu-keyring package in Ubuntu.
    
           net-update
    	   Perform an update working similarly to the update command above,
    	   but get the archive keyring from a URI instead and validate it
    	   against a master key. This requires an installed wget(1) and an APT
    	   build configured to have a server to fetch from and a master
    	   keyring to validate. APT in Debian does not support this command,
    	   relying on update instead, but Ubuntu's APT does.
    
    OPTIONS
           Note that options need to be defined before the commands described in
           the previous section.
    
           --keyring filename
    	   With this option it is possible to specify a particular keyring
    	   file the command should operate on. The default is that a command
    	   is executed on the trusted.gpg file as well as on all parts in the
    	   trusted.gpg.d directory, though trusted.gpg is the primary keyring
    	   which means that e.g. new keys are added to this one.
    
    FILES
           /etc/apt/trusted.gpg
    	   Keyring of local trusted keys, new keys will be added here.
    	   Configuration Item: Dir::Etc::Trusted.
    
           /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
    	   File fragments for the trusted keys, additional keyrings can be
    	   stored here (by other packages or the administrator). Configuration
    	   Item Dir::Etc::TrustedParts.
    
           /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg
    	   Local trust database of archive keys.
    
           /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg
    	   Keyring of Ubuntu archive trusted keys.
    
           /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-removed-keys.gpg
    	   Keyring of Ubuntu archive removed trusted keys.
