On this page, we collect information on how to use
keys.openpgp.org with different OpenPGP
software products.
We are still in the process of adding more. If you are missing some, please
write to us and we'll try to add it.
Enigmail for Thunderbird uses keys.openpgp.org by default since version 2.0.12.
Full support is available since Enigmail 2.1 (for Thunderbird 68 or newer):
GPG Suite for macOS uses keys.openpgp.org by default since August 2019.
OpenKeychain for Android uses keys.openpgp.org by default since July 2019.
Note that there is no built-in support for upload and email address verification so far.
Pignus for iOS uses keys.openpgp.org by default since November 2019.
To configure GnuPG to use keys.openpgp.org as keyserver, add this line to your gpg.conf file:
keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org
gpg --auto-key-locate keyserver --locate-keys user@example.net
gpg --refresh-keys
Keys can be uploaded with GnuPG's --send-keys command, but identity information can't be verified that way to make the key searchable by email address (what does this mean?).
gpg --export your_address@example.net | curl -T - {{ base_uri }}
gpg --export your_address@example.net > my_key.pub
hkp-cacert ~/.gnupg/sks-keyservers.netCA.pem
This configuration is no longer necessary, but prevents regular certificates from working. It is recommended to simply remove this line from the configuration.
gpg: key A2604867523C7ED8: no user IDThis is a known problem in GnuPG. We are working with the GnuPG team to resolve this issue.
For users who want to be extra careful, keys.openpgp.org can be reached anonymously as an onion service. If you have Tor installed, use the following configuration:
keyserver hkp://zkaan2xfbuxia2wpf7ofnkbz6r5zdbbvxbunvp5g2iebopbfc4iqmbad.onion
We offer an API for integrated support in OpenPGP applications. Check out our API documentation.
