AFAIK you can publish your key to https://keyserver.pgp.com/vkd/GetWelcomeScreen.event; it will be synchronized AFAIK; you will need to confirm every so often that your key is valid so PGP do not drop it.
You can publish to other keyservers and your public key will not find its way to the PGP Global Directory (https://keyserver.pgp.com/vkd/GetWelcomeScreen.event) AFAIK. I've been advised to avoid MIT's keyserver because apparently it's not well maintained. (I think it was MIT, could be some other server). Other members of this mailing list can give you much better advice. Also check Google for sources like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_server_(cryptographic); remember that anybody can contribute to wikipedia articles. Your question about finding keys: GnuPG has a find option ... point it at a keyserver to retrieve. You can use ID, e-mail address, and possibly other data to retrieve the key(s) you require. Again, other members of this mailing list can give you much better advice. g, _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
