NAME
gpg-wks-client - Client for the Web Key Service
SYNOPSIS
gpg-wks-client [COMMAND] [OPTIONS] [ARGS]
DESCRIPTION
gpg-wks-client is a simple command line client for the Web Key Service.
The executable is usually located in /usr/lib/gnupg. It allows a user
to create a publication request and to respond to a received confirma‐
tion request. Communication with the Web Key Service is done via
email. It also can lookup the fingerprint of a USER-ID in the Web Key
Directory.
COMMANDS
--supported USER-ID
Check whether provider of the given USER-ID supports the Web Key
Service protocol, i.e. whether it has a Web Key Directory pro‐
viding a submission address.
Similar to:
gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr 'WKD_GET --submission-address -- USER-ID' /bye
--check USER-ID
Check whether a key is available, and whether the listed key is
valid for the requested USER-ID. You might want to use
gpg -v --auto-key-locate=clear,wkd,nodefault --locate-key USER-ID
instead.
--create FINGERPRINT USER-ID
Create a publication request for the USER-ID in the key with the
given FINGERPRINT. List all possible keys (including the fin‐
gerprint) for a USER-ID with:
gpg --list-key USER-ID
By default the publication request will be printed to STDOUT.
You can also write it to a file using the --output option or
send it using sendmail with the --send option.
--receive
Receive a MIME confirmation request on STDIN and acknowledge it.
By default the confirmation response will be printed to STDOUT.
You can also write it to a file using the --output option or
send it using sendmail with the --send option.
--read Receive a plain text confirmation request. Similar to --receive,
but takes only the message body on STDIN.
--version
Show program version and some meta information.
-h, --help
Output a short usage information.
--warranty
Print warranty information.
--dump-options
Dump all available options and commands.
OPTIONS
-v, --verbose
Enable verbose output.
-q, --quiet
Be somewhat more quiet.
--send Send the mail using sendmail.
-o, --output FILE
Write the mail to FILE.
--status-fd FD
Write status info to this FD.
--debug
Set debugging flags. All flags are or-ed and flags may be
given in C syntax (e.g. 0x0042) or as a comma separated list of
flag names. To get a list of all supported flags the single
word "help" can be used.
--gpg GPG
Use the specified command instead of gpg.
--fake-submission-addr MAILADDR
Send mail to MAILADDR instead of the submission address queried
through Web Key Service.
EXAMPLES
Send a publication request
First find the fingerprint (a long string of hex digits) of the key you
want to publish:
gpg --list-key "Alice <alice@example.com>"
Now create and send the publication request:
/usr/lib/gnupg/gpg-wks-client --create --send 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF01234567 "Alice <alice@example.com>"
Instead of "Alice <alice@example.com>" you can also just give
alice@example.com.
Confirm a confirmation request
Paste the full mail containing the confirmation request (including
headers) you got from the Web Key Service on STDIN after starting:
/usr/lib/gnupg/gpg-wks-client --receive --send
