Knowledge BaseHow to use a PGP key directly for the Ref Arch instead of using Keybase?
A customer asked:
> How can I provide a PGP key for use in my Reference Architecture deployment without creating a Keybase account?
To provide us a PGP key without using keybase, first export your PGP key:
```bash
# Set KEYID to the ID of the PGP key you would like to use for encrypting
gpg --export $KEYID | base64
```
Once you have exported your key using this command, you can paste in the full `base64` encoded string instead of the `keybase:username` format in your `reference-architecture-form.yml`.
