Take, for instance, a scenario where Bob's OpenPGP software issues a {term}`certification` confirming as legitimate the link between the {term}`User ID` `Alice Adams <alice@example.org>` and the {term}`certificate<OpenPGP Certificate>` bearing the {term}`fingerprint<OpenPGP Fingerprint>` `AAA1 8CBB 2546 85C5 8358 3205 63FD 37B6 7F33 00F9 FB0E C457 378C D29F 1026 98B3`.
This process assumes that Bob knows the person known as `Alice Adams` and is confident that `alice@example.org` is indeed Alice's email address. Bob also verifies that the {term}`certificate<OpenPGP Certificate>` his OpenPGP software associates with Alice matches the one Alice uses. In essence, both users must have a {term}`certificate<OpenPGP Certificate>` for Alice with an identical {term}`fingerprint<OpenPGP Fingerprint>`. In OpenPGP version 6, manual {term}`fingerprint<OpenPGP Fingerprint>` comparison by end-users is discouraged, with a replacement {term}`verification` mechanism still under development. The {term}`verification` process must occur over a sufficiently secure channel, such as an end-to-end encrypted video call or a face-to-face meeting.
