PGP Public Keyservers
---------------------

There are PGP public key servers which allow one to exchange public
keys running through the Internet and UUCP mail systems.

NOTE!

This service is NOT supported in any way whatsoever by the schools or
organizations on which these servers run.  It is here only to help
transfer keys between PGP users.  It does NOT attempt to guarantee
that a key is a valid key; use the signators on a key for that kind of
security.  This service can be discontinued at any time without prior
notification.

Each keyserver processes requests in the form of mail messages.  The
commands for the server are entered on the Subject: line.

        To: pgp-public-keys@pgp.iastate.edu
        From: johndoe@some.site.edu
        Subject: help

Sending your key to ONE server is enough.  After it processes your
key, it will forward your add request to other servers automagically.

For example, to add your key to the keyserver, or to update your key if it
is already there, send a message similar to the following to any server:

        To: pgp-public-keys@pgp.iastate.edu
        From: johndoe@some.site.edu
        Subject: add

        -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
        Version: 2.6

        
        -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

COMPROMISED KEYS:  Create a Key Revocation Certificate (read the PGP
docs on how to do that) and mail your key to the server once again,
with the ADD command.

Valid commands are:

Command                Message body contains
---------------------- -------------------------------------------------
ADD                    Your PGP public key (key to add is body of msg)
INDEX                  List all PGP keys the server knows about (-kv)
INDEX userid           List all PGP keys that match the userid (-kv)
VERBOSE INDEX          List all PGP keys, verbose format (-kvv)
VERBOSE INDEX userid   List all PGP keys, that match the userid, verbose (-kvv)
GET                    Get the whole public key ring (split)
GET userid             Get just that one key
MGET regexp            Get all keys which match /regexp/
LAST days              Get the keys updated in the last ays' days
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Examples for the MGET command:

        MGET michael             Gets all keys which have "michael" in them
        MGET iastate             All keys which contain "iastate"
        MGET E8F605A5|5F3E38F5   Those two keyid's

One word about regexps:  These are not the same as the wildcards Unix 
shells and MSDOS uses.  a * isn't `match anything'' it means `match
zero or more of the previous character'' like:

	a*  matches anything beginning with an a
	ab*c matches ac, abc, abbc, etc.

Just try not to use `MGET .*'' -- use `GET'' instead.

Note on the `GET'' command:  If at all possible, ftp the keyring from a
server rather than using the `GET'' command to return the whole ring.
Currently, this ring comes out to be around 40 files of 52k each.  This is
a lot of files, and a lot of bother to get in the right order to run through
PGP.
