### Checking keys
|
||||
In order to check that the primary key is valid the `Key#Check` function can be used.
|
||||
This operation is as of 2.0.0 fairly expensive, as it requires a signature operation.
|
||||
It will be improved in the future versions, and possibly expanded to the subkeys, that are
|
||||
for now assumed to be correct thanks to the binding signature.
|
||||
```go
|
||||
const privkey = `-----BEGIN PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----
|
||||
...
|
||||
-----END PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----` // Encrypted private key
|
||||
const passphrase = []byte("LongSecret") // Private key passphrase
|
||||
|
||||
privateKeyObj, err := crypto.NewKeyFromArmored(privkey)
|
||||
unlockedKeyObj = privateKeyObj.Unlock(passphrase)
|
||||
|
||||
isVerified, _ := unlockedKeyObj.Check();
|
||||
if !isVerified {
|
||||
// Handle broken keys
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
This function runs on unlocked private keys, and it will return an error if called with public keys
|
||||
or locked keys.
