- Is what I've done reasonably correct?
- How do I specify that this is my PGP/GPG public key?
- How do I specify that it is my primary key?
I don't know much about cryptography, and don't know if anyone has
previously used keys in hCard, but the following is how I would
approach the problem. This is from the vCard RFC:
The type can also include the type parameter TYPE
to specify the public key or authentication certificate format. The
parameter type should specify an IANA registered public key or
authentication certificate format.
So apparently all vCard keys are assumed public, no need to state
that. Further down we find:
keytype = "X509" / "PGP" / iana-token / x-name
So "PGP" is a valid type, no need to go hunting through IANA
documentation. Now we just need to translate to hCard. The type-
value formatting is already established [1]. I don't think you can
merely reference a URL which contains the key; as I read the spec,
you'd need to include the key itself in the vCard, so you'll need to
do the same in the hCard. This may be a good place to use <abbr>,
assuming that ID is some form of abbreviation for the key itself.
That would leave you with something like this:
<span class="key"><abbr class="type" title="PGP">public key</abbr> id
is <a
href="http://pgpkeys.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?
op=vindex&search=0x1F140E17"><abbr class="value"
