Title : Using DANE to Associate OpenPGP public keys with email addresses
Author : Paul Wouters
Filename : draft-ietf-dane-openpgpkey-07.txt
Pages : 18
Date : 2016-01-27
Abstract:
OpenPGP is a message format for email (and file) encryption that
lacks a standardized lookup mechanism to securely obtain OpenPGP
public keys. DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities ("DANE") is
a method for publishing public keys in DNS. This document specifies
a DANE method for publishing and locating OpenPGP public keys in DNS
for a specific email address using a new OPENPGPKEY DNS Resource
Record. Security is provided via Secure DNS, however the OPENPGPKEY
record is not a replacement for verification of authenticity via the
"Web of Trust" or manual verification. The OPENPGPKEY record can be
used to encrypt an email that would otherwise have to be send
unencrypted.
