The WWW interface to the InterNIC KeyServer is NOT supported in any way whatsoever by Iowa State University, the ISU Computation Center, or the gateway author Michael Graff. It is here only to help transfer keys to the InterNIC key ring in order to authenticate registry transactions. It does NOT attempt to guarantee that a key is a valid key, rather it serves a repository for keys of registry customers to be used to validate registry transactions. ######################### PGP Public Keyservers --------------------- There are PGP public key servers which allow one to exchange public keys running through the Internet and UUCP mail systems. The InterNIC key server is NOT such a utility and serves only as a repository of keys for customers to be used to validate and authenticate registry transaction requests. This document highlights the simple actions of adding and revoking a single key and does not detail comprehensive PGP characteristics; such information is more appropriately documented by the vendor of the PGP software selected by a registry customer. NOTE! The keyserver processes requests in the form of mail messages. The commands for the server are entered on the Subject: line. To: pgpreg@internic.net From: johndoe@example.com Subject: help 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: pgpreg@internic.net From: johndoe@example.com 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) GET userid Get just that one key ------------------------------------------------------------------------ While the InterNIC Key Server has a specific purpose, other Key Servers are available to facilitate the use of PGP in day to day electronic communications.
