NAME

       sq network keyserver - Retrieve and publishes certificates via key servers

SYNOPSIS

       sq network keyserver search [OPTIONS] QUERY
       sq network keyserver publish [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       Retrieve and publishes certificates via key servers.

       The  OpenPGP  HTTP  Keyserver  Protocol  (HKP)  is  a method for publishing and retrieving
       certificates from key servers.

SUBCOMMANDS

   sq network keyserver search
       Retrieve certificates from key servers.

       By default, any returned certificates are stored in the local certificate store.  This can
       be overridden by using `--output` option.

       When a certificate is retrieved from a verifying key server (currently, this is limited to
       a list of  known  servers:  `hkps://keys.openpgp.org`,  `hkps://keys.mailvelope.com`,  and
       `hkps://mail-api.proton.me`),  and imported into the local certificate store, the User IDs
       are also certificated with a local server-specific key.  That proxy certificate is in turn
       certified as a minimally trusted CA (trust amount: 1 of 120) by the local trust root.  How
       much a proxy key server CA is trusted can be tuned using `sq pki link add` or `sq pki link
       retract` in the usual way.

   sq network keyserver publish
       Publish certificates on key servers.

       Sends  certificates  to  the  configured  key  servers  for  publication.  By default, the
       certificates   are   sent   to   `hkps://keys.openpgp.org`,   `hkps://mail-api.proton.me`,
       `hkps://keys.mailvelope.com`,              `hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com`,              and
       `hkps://sks.pod01.fleetstreetops.com`.  This can be tweaked using `--servers`.

       Retrieve Alice's certificate from a non-default keyserver.

              sq network keyserver search --server=hkps://keys.example.org \
                     alice@example.org

       Retrieve updates for all known certificates from the default keyservers.
