Hey sks-devel folks, the Hagrid team is pleased to announce the launch of our new keyserver, running at keys.openpgp.org!
https://keys.openpgp.org Here's the short story: * Fast and reliable. No wait times, no downtimes, no inconsistencies. * Precise. Searches return only a single key, which allows for easy key discovery. * Validating. Identities are only published with consent, while non-identity information is freely distributed. * Deletable. Users can delete personal information with a simple e-mail confirmation. * Built on Rust, powered by Sequoia PGP - free and open source, running AGPLv3. Full news announcement: https://keys.openpgp.org/about/news#2019-06-12-launch Our primary motivation was to have a place where OpenPGP clients can reliably and quickly obtain updates to key material (subkeys, revocations, ...), and that also has as a simple and useful way of key discovery. Some of the things we do are a bit experimental. For some things we found that there is no good mechanism at this point, so we decided to drop them for now. Most notably this includes third party signatures on keys, because they in their current form the difficulties wrt privacy and spam outweigh their usefulness. The server implementation Hagrid (as in, "keeper of keys") is developed here: https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/hagrid Feel free to file issues if you find anything out of place. Please read our FAQ first ;) Huge thanks to Kai for the initial implementation, Justus and Neal for creating Sequoia and working with me on this, dkg and Paul for testing and tons of feedback, Phil for providing us with the domain, and of course everyone who helped us test and polish this thing! Happy to hear your feedback! - V _______________________________________________ Sks-devel mailing list Sks-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/sks-devel
