NAME
       sq network - Retrieve and publish certificates over the network

SYNOPSIS
       sq network fetch	[OPTIONS] QUERY
       sq network keyserver [OPTIONS]  SUBCOMMAND
       sq network wkd [OPTIONS]	 SUBCOMMAND
       sq network dane [OPTIONS]  SUBCOMMAND

DESCRIPTION
       Retrieve	and publish certificates over the network.

       OpenPGP	certificates can be discovered and updated from, and published
       on services accessible over the network.	 This is a collection of  com-
       mands to	interact with these services.

SUBCOMMANDS
   sq network fetch
       Retrieve	certificates using all supported network services.

       This  command  will  try	to locate relevant certificates	given a	query,
       which may be a fingerprint, a key ID, an	email address, or a https URL.
       It may also discover and	import certificate related to the one queried,
       such as alternative certs, expired certs, or revoked certs.

       Discovering related certs is useful: alternative	certs support key  ro-
       tations,	 expired  certs	 allow	verification of	signatures made	in the
       past, and discovering revoked certs is important	to get the  revocation
       information.   The  PKI mechanism will help to select the correct cert,
       see `sq pki`.

       By default, any returned	certificates are stored	in the local  certifi-
       cate 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`),  WKD,
       DANE,  or via https, 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 re-
       tract` in the usual way.

   sq network keyserver
       Retrieve	and publishes certificates via key servers.

       The OpenPGP HTTP	Keyserver Protocol (HKP) is a  method  for  publishing
       and retrieving certificates from	key servers.

   sq network wkd
       Retrieve	and publishes certificates via Web Key Directories.

       The  Web	 Key Directory (WKD) is	a method for publishing	and retrieving
       certificates from web servers.

   sq network dane
       Retrieve	and publishes certificates via DANE.

       DNS-Based Authentication	of Named Entities (DANE) is a method for  pub-
       lishing and retrieving certificates in DNS as specified in RFC 7929.
