+@chapter gpg key generation
+
+If you have no gpg key yet, we recommand that you create a ed25519 based key as it
+is small, fast and secure. Especially it results in small signatures in git.
+
+@example
+gpg --default-new-key-algo "ed25519/cert,sign+cv25519/encr" --quick-generate-key "human@server.com"
+@end example
+
