[{$pagename}] is the process makes an [Assertion] that a [Public Key] is associated to the correct [entity]
[{$pagename}] in [Public Key Cryptography], each person has a set of keys.
[{$pagename}] is a common feature of protocols that use [End-to-End Security], such as [PGP] and [Off-the-Record Messaging].
On [Signal], [{$pagename}] is called "safety numbers." To verify keys without the risk of interference, it's advisable to use a secondary method of communicating other than the one you’re going to be [encrypting]; this is called out-of-band verification. For example, if you are verifying your [OTR] fingerprints, you might email your [fingerprints] to one another. In that example, [email] would be the secondary [Communication Channel].
