GnuPG
</h2>
<p>
To configure <a href="https://gnupg.org">GnuPG</a>
to use <span class="brand">keys.openpgp.org</span> as keyserver,
add this line to your <tt>gpg.conf</tt> file:
<blockquote>
keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org
</blockquote>
</p>
<h4 id="gnupg-retrieve"><a href="#gnupg-retrieve">Retrieving keys</a></h4>
<ul>
<li>
To locate the key of a user, by email address:
<blockquote>gpg --auto-key-locate keyserver --locate-keys user@example.net</blockquote>
</li>
<li>To refresh all your keys (e.g. new revocation certificates and subkeys):
<blockquote>gpg --refresh-keys</blockquote>
</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="gnupg-upload"><a href="#gnupg-upload">Uploading your key</a></h4>
<p>
Keys can be uploaded with GnuPG's <tt>--send-keys</tt> command, but
identity information can't be verified that way to make the key
searchable by email address (<a href="/about">what does this mean?</a>).
</p>
<ul>
<li>
You can try this shortcut for uploading your key, which outputs
a direct link to the verification page:
<blockquote>
gpg --export your_address@example.net | curl -T - {{ base_uri }}
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>
Alternatively, you can export them to a file
and select that file in the <a href="/upload" target="_blank">upload</a> page:
<blockquote>
gpg --export your_address@example.net &gt; my_key.pub
</blockquote>
</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="gnupg-troubleshooting"><a href="#gnupg-troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</a></h4>
<ul>
<li>
Some old <tt>~/gnupg/dirmngr.conf</tt> files contain a line like this:
<blockquote>
hkp-cacert ~/.gnupg/sks-keyservers.netCA.pem
</blockquote>
<p>
This configuration is no longer necessary,
but prevents regular certificates from working.
It is recommended to simply remove this line from the configuration.
</p>
</li>
<li>
While refreshing keys, you may see errors like the following:
<blockquote>gpg: key A2604867523C7ED8: no user ID</blockquote>
This is a <a href="https://dev.gnupg.org/T4393" target="_blank">known problem in GnuPG</a>.
We are working with the GnuPG team to resolve this issue.

</ul>
<h4 id="gnupg-tor"><a href="#gnupg-tor">Usage via Tor</a></h4>
<p>
For users who want to be extra careful,
<span class="brand">keys.openpgp.org</span> can be reached anonymously as an
<a href="https://support.torproject.org/onionservices/#onionservices-2" target="_blank">onion service</a>.
If you have
<a href="https://www.torproject.org/" target="_blank">Tor</a>
installed, use the following configuration:
<blockquote>
keyserver hkp://zkaan2xfbuxia2wpf7ofnkbz6r5zdbbvxbunvp5g2iebopbfc4iqmbad.onion
</blockquote>

<h2 style="padding-left: 3%;" id="wkd-as-a-service"><a style="color: #050505;" href="#wkd-as-a-service">WKD as a Service</a></h2>
<p> The Web Key Directory (WKD) is a standard for discovery of OpenPGP keys by email address, via the domain of its email provider.
It is used to discover unknown keys in some email clients, such as <a href="https://www.gpg4win.de/about.html" target="_blank">GpgOL</a>.
<p> <span class="brand">keys.openpgp.org</span> can be used as a managed WKD service for any domain.
To do so, the domain simply needs a <tt>CNAME</tt> record that delegates its <tt>openpgpkey</tt> subdomain to <tt>wkd.keys.openpgp.org</tt>.
It should be possible to do this in the web interface of any DNS hoster.
<p> Once enabled for a domain, its verified addresses will automatically be available for lookup via WKD.
<p> The <tt>CNAME</tt> record should look like this:
<blockquote>
$ drill openpgpkey.example.org<br>
...<br>
openpgpkey.example.org. 300 IN CNAME wkd.keys.openpgp.org.
</blockquote>
<p> There is a simple status checker for testing the service:
<blockquote>
$ curl 'https://wkd.keys.openpgp.org/status/?domain=openpgpkey.example.org'<br>
CNAME lookup ok: openpgpkey.example.org resolves to wkd.keys.openpgp.org<br>
</blockquote>
<p> For testing key retrieval:
<blockquote>
$ gpg --locate-keys --auto-key-locate clear,nodefault,wkd address@example.org<br>
</blockquote>
