Retrieve certificates from key servers

Synopsis

sq network keyserver fetch [Options] QUERY

Description

Retrieve certificates from key servers.

By default, any returned certificates are stored in the local certificate store.  This can be overridden by using `--output` option.

When a certificate is retrieved from a verifying key server (currently, this is limited to a list of known servers: `hkps://keys.openpgp.org`, `hkps://keys.mailvelope.com`, and `hkps://mail-api.proton.me`), and imported into the local certificate store, the User IDs are also certificated with a local server-specific key.  That proxy certificate is in turn certified as a minimally trusted CA (trust amount: 1 of 120) by the local trust root.  How much a proxy key server CA is trusted can be tuned using `sq pki link add` or `sq pki link retract` in the usual way.

Options
