I needed to install Gemalto PKCS11 Library.
As a result of my searching, I added following PPA to my software sources: https://launchpad.net/~arnaud-morin/+archive/ubuntu/gemalto
Then I installed software package from it:sudo apt-get install libgtop11dotnet*
However after reading following question I realized that I should probably not do that, because I don't know the author and the number of PPA users is quite limited:
Are PPAs safe to add to my system and what are some "red flags" to watch out for?
According to the note on Launchpad, mentioned repository could be considered as untrusted:
You can update your system with unsupported packages from this untrusted PPA
Thus I am afraid that I open some vulnerability on my system.
Is it enough to just remove the untrusted PPA and sudo apt-get purge installed package? Will I be safe again or should I completely reinstall my system to be 100% sure that I am safe, that nobody will access my data?
