That is really up to you.  Often it is fun to be a nerd.

To the OP: I have done keysigning for about 25 years but meanwhile I
don't think that the Web of Trust is a good idea to make encryption for
the masses really easy.  Also it is often more a game than serious
operational security.  In particular if it comes to the pretty German of
scheme of it which sometimes demands two government issued identity
documents and so on.  That is in stark contrast to the grassroots origin
of PGP and its tendency not to trust the government.  For a small closed
group the Web of Trust used to work well, though.


Salam-Shalom,

Thank you Werner for your answer.
If the former is acceptable to you, I might as well do that.

Looks like your are not keen on key signing party, may I ask why?

Meanwhile I would suggest to only use the mail address, that is

  j...@example.org

and leave out all other parts.  There are even mail providers which
demand this for data privacy reasons.  However if you prefer to have
your mail in it, do it in the same was as it is common in your
country/culture like

  John Doe 

If you plan to take part in that nerdy key signing game, some
participants have the policy to check the real name agains a passport;
obviously you would need the latter form then.

I used to include my real name in my keys but for my new ed25519 key I
use only the mail addresses (I use 3 different mail addresses in my
keys).


Shalom-Salam,

Thank you everyone for your answers.

What I understand is that there is no clear convention.

Lets say that my first name 'abcdefgh' is and my short name is 'abcd',
based on this thread I'll use something like:

abcdefgh abcd LAST-NAME 

Should I put the short name between '()' or quoates or is the above
example the best way forward?

Thanks again for the help/input.

Yes. It might be simpler to have a single UID containing only the
email address and with neither form of your name.

There's nothing forbidding it.  Whether it's a good idea depends on your
own particular use case.

I'd recommend thinking long and hard before doing this, as it's possible
you'll confuse some badly-written workflows somewhere.  But if after
thinking long and hard you decide to go for it, knock yourself out: it's
allowed.  :)

user id question

[john doe]

Hi,

I'm in the process of creating a gpg key, I have one question though:
Some time I use the name x and sometime I use a shorter form of that
name but the e-mail address is the same.

EG:

first-name last-name 
short-name 

Is it acceptable to have multiple 'user ID's with the same address e-mail?
