PGP public keys of the FCR Operator

These public keys allow users to verify the origin and integrity of emails received from the FCR Operator, notably to avoid a fraudulent attempt by a third-party to pass itself off as the FCR Operator (fraud technique commonly referred to as "phishing"). To perform these verifications, users need to install a PGP extension on their E-mail client and provide the appropriate public key. The digital signature system is based on the PGP protocol specified in RFC 4880 of the IETF.
