# example.org.invalid OpenPGP Keyserver

Welcome to example.org.invalid’s OpenPGP Keyserver and HKP/HKPS service at keyserver.example.org.invalid.

In case of questions or problems please contact root@keyserver.example.org.invalid.

## Search

Search for keys:

Options:
generate normal key listing
generate verbose key listing
generate an OpenPGP Message in the Radix-64 (also known as “ASCII armor”) encoding containing the keys (by searching for “SKS full key hashes”)
display key fingerprints
display “SKS full key hashes”
use machine readable format

Examples:

- User IDs
  Searching the keys’ user IDs for any string; usually personal names like “`Pierre de Fermat`”, email addresses like “`pierre@de-fermat.example`” or as so called “name-addrs” like “`Pierre de Fermat <pierre@de-fermat.example>`”.
- Key Fingerprints
  Searching for key fingerprints like “`0x0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF01234567`” (version 4) or “`0x89ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF01234567`” (version 3).
- Key IDs
  Searching for key IDs like “`0x89ABCDEF01234567`” (so called “short key IDs” like “`0x01234567`” can be used, too).
- “SKS full key hashes”
  Searching for “SKS full key hashes” like “`0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF`”.
  For this the respective option must be selected.

## Submission / Publication

Notes:

- Keys must be presented as one OpenPGP Message in the Radix-64 (also known as “ASCII armor”) encoding.
- This keyserver is directly and indirectly part of other keyserver networks, including the SKS Keyserver Network, and therefore eventually fully synchronised with all of the other member keyservers of these networks.
- Submitted keys are going to be published immediately, which means that all their data (including the cryptographic material, user IDs, user attributes, certification signatures, et cetera) becomes globally publicly available and that personal information and even social connections may be revealed.
- Published keys cannot be removed for security and technical reasons; neither from this keyserver nor from any of the keyserver networks, that it is directly or indirectly connected with.
