NAME

sq autocrypt - Communicate certificates using Autocrypt

SYNOPSIS

sq autocrypt import [OPTIONS] FILE
sq autocrypt decode
[OPTIONS] FILE
sq autocrypt encode-sender
[OPTIONS] FILE

DESCRIPTION

Communicate certificates using Autocrypt.

Autocrypt is a standard for mail user agents to provide convenient end-to-end encryption of emails. This subcommand provides a limited way to produce and consume headers that are used by Autocrypt to communicate certificates between clients.

See <https://autocrypt.org/>;.

SUBCOMMANDS

sq autocrypt import
Import Autocrypt-encoded certificates.

Given a mail containing autocrypt headers (or an key-gossip headers), this command extracts and imports the certificates encoded within it.

sq autocrypt decode
Read Autocrypt-encoded certificates.

Given an autocrypt header (or an key-gossip header), this command extracts the certificate encoded within it.

The converse operation is ’sq autocrypt encode-sender’.

sq autocrypt encode-sender
Encode a certificate into an Autocrypt header.

A certificate can be encoded and included in a header of an email message. This command encodes the certificate, adds the senders email address (which must match the one used in the ’From’ header), and the senders ’prefer-encrypt’ state (see the Autocrypt spec for more information).

The converse operation is ’sq autocrypt decode’.

EXAMPLES

sq autocrypt import
Imports all certificates from a mail

sq autocrypt import autocrypt.eml

sq autocrypt decode
Extract all certificates from a mail

sq autocrypt decode autocrypt.eml

sq autocrypt encode-sender
Encodes a certificate

sq autocrypt encode-sender juliet.pgp

Encodes a certificate with an explicit sender address

sq autocrypt encode-sender --email juliet [AT] example.org juliet.pgp

Encodes a certificate while indicating the willingness to encrypt

sq autocrypt encode-sender --prefer-encrypt mutual juliet.pgp
