1.1 root 1: PGP Public Keyservers
2: ---------------------
3:
4: There are PGP public key servers which allow one to exchange public
5: keys running through the Internet and UUCP mail systems.
6:
7: NOTE!
8:
9: This service is NOT supported in any way whatsoever by the schools or
10: organizations on which these servers run. It is here only to help
11: transfer keys between PGP users. It does NOT attempt to guarantee
12: that a key is a valid key; use the signators on a key for that kind of
13: security. This service can be discontinued at any time without prior
14: notification.
15:
16: Each keyserver processes requests in the form of mail messages. The
17: commands for the server are entered on the Subject: line.
18:
1.1.1.2 ! root 19: To: [email protected]
! 20: From: [email protected]
! 21: Subject: help
1.1 root 22:
23: Sending your key to ONE server is enough. After it processes your
24: key, it will forward your add request to other servers automagically.
25:
1.1.1.2 ! root 26: For example, to add your key to the keyserver, or to update your key if it is
! 27: already there, send a message similar to the following to any server:
1.1 root 28:
1.1.1.2 ! root 29: To: [email protected]
! 30: From: [email protected]
! 31: Subject: add
1.1 root 32:
1.1.1.2 ! root 33: -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
! 34: Version: 2.3
1.1 root 35:
1.1.1.2 ! root 36: <blah blah blah>
! 37: -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
1.1 root 38:
39: COMPROMISED KEYS: Create a Key Revocation Certificate (read the PGP
40: docs on how to do that) and mail your key to the server once again,
41: with the ADD command.
42:
43: Valid commands are:
44:
1.1.1.2 ! root 45: Command Message body contains
! 46: ---------------------- -------------------------------------------------
! 47: ADD Your PGP public key (key to add is body of msg)
! 48: INDEX List all PGP keys the server knows about (-kv)
! 49: VERBOSE INDEX List all PGP keys, verbose format (-kvv)
! 50: GET Get the whole public key ring
! 51: GET userid Get just that one key
! 52: MGET regexp Get all keys which match /regexp/
! 53: LAST days Get the keys updated in the last `days' days
! 54: ------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1 root 55:
56: Examples for the MGET command:
57:
58: MGET michael Gets all keys which have "michael" in them
59: MGET iastate All keys which contain "iastate"
60: MGET F605A5|3A738B Those two keyid's
