pgp

OpenPGP is an open standard for end-to-end encryption and digital signatures. we host a WKD (Web Key Directory) service, which allows e-mail clients to automatically discover your public key by your username@oss.zone address.

generating a key#

if you don't have a key yet, generate one with sq (already installed):

$ sq key generate --own-key --name "John Doe" --email "username@oss.zone"

make sure the key includes a UID with your username@oss.zone address.

publishing your key#

export your public key to ~/public/key.pgp on the server:

$ sq cert export --cert FINGERPRINT > ~/public/key.pgp

upload it over SSH if you generated the key locally:

$ scp key.pgp username@oss.zone:~/public/key.pgp

... and you're done!

verifying#

you can check whether your key is discoverable with:

$ sq network wkd search username@oss.zone

or use the checker at wkd.dp42.dev.
