That's an interesting idea, it seems GnuPG has some support for sending keys via e-mail. From the "--keyserver" option documentation [0]: > This is the server that --receive-keys, --send-keys, and --search-keys will > communicate with to receive keys from, send keys to, and search for keys on. > (...) The scheme is the type of keyserver: "hkp" for the HTTP (or compatible) > keyservers, "ldap" for the LDAP keyservers, or *"mailto" for the Graff email > keyserver*. I didn't manage to get it running though ("gpg: keyserver send failed: No keyserver available"), probably it depends on some package that I don't have locally. By the way validation of keys sent from e-mail would require DKIM as it's easy to spoof "From" (that's why most solutions send verification e-mails to the e-mail address instead of receiving it).
