NAME

sq network keyserver fetch - Retrieve certificates from key servers

SYNOPSIS

sq network keyserver fetch [OPTIONS] QUERY

DESCRIPTION

Retrieve certificates from key servers.

By default, any returned certificates are stored in the local certificate store. This can be overridden by using ’--output’ option.

When a certificate is retrieved from a verifying key server (currently, this is limited to a list of known servers: ’hkps://keys.openpgp.org’, ’hkps://keys.mailvelope.com’, and ’hkps://mail-api.proton.me’), and imported into the local certificate store, the User IDs are also certificated with a local server-specific key. That proxy certificate is in turn certified as a minimally trusted CA (trust amount: 1 of 120) by the local trust root. How much a proxy key server CA is trusted can be tuned using ’sq pki link add’ or ’sq pki link retract’ in the usual way.
