sq key extract-cert [Options] FILE

Converts a key to a cert.

After generating a key, use this command to get the certificate corresponding to the key.  The key must be kept secure, while the certificate should be handed out to correspondents, e.g. by uploading it to a key server.

First, generate a key

    sq key generate --userid '<juliet@example.org>' \
    --output juliet.key.pgp

Then, extract the certificate for distribution

    sq key extract-cert --output juliet.cert.pgp juliet.key.pgp
