  31       <div class="body">
  32         <p>Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending a talk with the
  33 <a href="http://www.nuug.no/">Norwegian Unix User Group</a> about
  34 <a href="http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20140909-sks-keyservers/">the
  35 OpenPGP keyserver pool sks-keyservers.net</a>, and was very happy to
  36 learn that there is a large set of publicly available key servers to
  37 use when looking for peoples public key.  So far I have used
  38 subkeys.pgp.net, and some times wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net when the former
  39 were misbehaving, but those days are ended.  The servers I have used
  40 up until yesterday have been slow and some times unavailable.  I hope
  41 those problems are gone now.</p>
  42
  43 <p>Behind the round robin DNS entry of the
  44 <a href="https://sks-keyservers.net/">sks-keyservers.net</a> service
  45 there is a pool of more than 100 keyservers which are checked every
  46 day to ensure they are well connected and up to date.  It must be
  47 better than what I have used so far. :)</p>
  48
  49 <p>Yesterdays speaker told me that the service is the default
  50 keyserver provided by the default configuration in GnuPG, but this do
  51 not seem to be used in Debian.  Perhaps it should?</p>
  52
  53 <p>Anyway, I've updated my ~/.gnupg/options file to now include this
  54 line:</p>
  55
  56 <p><blockquote><pre>
  57 keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net
  58 </pre></blockquote></p>
  59
  60 <p>With GnuPG version 2 one can also locate the keyserver using SRV
  61 entries in DNS.  Just for fun, I did just that at work, so now every
  62 user of GnuPG at the University of Oslo should find a OpenGPG
  63 keyserver automatically should their need it:</p>
  64
  65 <p><blockquote><pre>
  66 % host -t srv _pgpkey-http._tcp.uio.no
  67 _pgpkey-http._tcp.uio.no has SRV record 0 100 11371 pool.sks-keyservers.net.
  68 %
  69 </pre></blockquote></p>
  70
  71 <p>Now if only
  72 <a href="http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft-shaw-openpgp-hkp/">the
  73 HKP lookup protocol</a> supported finding signature paths, I would be
  74 very happy.  It can look up a given key or search for a user ID, but I
  75 normally do not want that, but to find a trust path from my key to
  76 another key.  Given a user ID or key ID, I would like to find (and
  77 download) the keys representing a signature path from my key to the
  78 key in question, to be able to get a trust path between the two keys.
  79 This is as far as I can tell not possible today.  Perhaps something
  80 for a future version of the protocol?</p>
