Create encryption keys amongst [email protected]

[dconnolly]

And publish the public key in our responsible_disclosure.md statement. Ideally created on yubikeys, with backups. Elucidate the creation, rotation, and EOL'ing keys.

For now we have an old draft at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ORGAzAYq5vc86SxBlugYAE5daLbnTRCIZSELCvFKZaY

After discussion/review we should update the ticket text here

Quick consensus on tooling:

• PGP for breadth
• Optionally age for more experimental/modern researchers, but not primary

Putting this in the last sprint, so we remember to do it before mainnet activation.

Do we still want to/need to do this?

We're getting closer to the stable release candidate series, so this is a medium priority now.

Here are some reasons to make our first secure contact method a PGP key:

If we want to get the same disclosures as zcashd: https://github.com/zcash/zcash/blob/master/SECURITY.md#receiving-disclosures

If we want to conform to accepted responsible disclosure standards within the cryptocurrency community: https://github.com/RD-Crypto-Spec/Responsible-Disclosure/tree/d47a5a3dafa5942c8849a93441745fdd186731e6#giving-details

We can add additional secure contact methods, but in my opinion they should be separate tickets. That allows us to give them different schedules and priorities.
