Title : Using DANE to Associate OpenPGP public keys with
email addresses
Author : Paul Wouters
Filename : draft-ietf-dane-openpgpkey-06.txt
Pages : 18
Date : 2015-10-19
Abstract:
OpenPGP is a message format for email (and file) encryption that
lacks a standardized lookup mechanism to securely obtain OpenPGP
public keys. This document specifies a method for publishing and
locating OpenPGP public keys in DNS for a specific email address
using a new OPENPGPKEY DNS Resource Record. Security is provided via
Secure DNS, however the OPENPGPKEY record is not a replacement for
verification of authenticity via the "Web of Trust" or manual
verification. The OPENPGPKEY record can be used to encrypt an email
that would otherwise have to be send unencrypted.
