NAME
       sq cert - Manage	certificates

SYNOPSIS
       sq cert import [OPTIONS]	FILE
       sq cert export [OPTIONS]	QUERY
       sq cert lint [OPTIONS] FILE

DESCRIPTION
       Manage certificates.

       We use the term "certificate", or "cert"	for short, to refer to OpenPGP
       keys  that do not contain secrets.  This	subcommand provides primitives
       to generate and otherwise manipulate certs.

       Conversely, we use the term "key" to refer to OpenPGP keys that do con-
       tain secrets.  See `sq key` for operations on keys.

SUBCOMMANDS
   sq cert import
       Import certificates into	the local certificate store.

   sq cert export
       Export certificates from	the local certificate store.

       If multiple predicates are specified a certificate is  returned	if  at
       least one of them matches.

       This  does  not	check  the authenticity	of the certificates in anyway.
       Before using the	certificates, be sure  to  validate  and  authenticate
       them.

       When  matching  on subkeys or User IDs, the component must have a valid
       self signature according	to the policy.	This  is  not  the  case  when
       matching	 the certificate's key handle using `--cert` or	when exporting
       all certificates.

       Fails if	search criteria	are specified and none	of  them  matches  any
       certificates.   Note:  this means if the	certificate store is empty and
       no search criteria are specified, then this will	return success.

   sq cert lint
       Check certificates for issues.

       `sq cert	lint` checks  the  supplied  certificates  for	the  following
       SHA-1-related issues:

	 - Whether a certificate revocation uses SHA-1.

	 - Whether the current self signature for a non-revoked	User ID	uses
	   SHA-1.

	 - Whether the current subkey binding signature	for a non-revoked,
	   live	subkey uses SHA-1.

	 - Whether a primary key binding signature ("backsig") for a
	   non-revoked,	live subkey uses SHA-1.

       Diagnostics  are	 printed  to  stderr.  At the end, some	statistics are
       shown.  This is useful when examining a keyring.	 If `--fix` is	speci-
       fied  and at least one issue could be fixed, the	fixed certificates are
       printed to stdout.

       This tool does not currently support smart cards.   But,	 if  only  the
       subkeys	are  on	a smart	card, this tool	may still be able to partially
       repair the certificate.	In particular, it will be able to fix any  is-
       sues with User ID self signatures and subkey binding signatures for en-
       cryption-capable	 subkeys, but it will not be able to generate new pri-
       mary key	binding	signatures for any signing-capable subkeys.

EXAMPLES
   sq cert import
       Import a	certificate.

	      sq cert import juliet.pgp

   sq cert export
       Export all certificates.

	      sq cert export --all

       Export certificates with	a matching User	ID packet.  The	binding	signa-
       tures are checked, but the User IDs are not authenticated.  Note:  this
       check is	case sensitive.

	      sq cert export --userid "Alice <alice@example.org>"

       Export  certificates  with  a User ID containing	the email address. The
       binding signatures are checked, but the User IDs	are not	authenticated.
       Note: this check	is case	insensitive.

	      sq cert export --email alice@example.org

       Export certificates where the certificate (i.e.,	the primary  key)  has
       the specified Key ID.

	      sq cert export --cert 6F0073F60FD0CBF0

       Export certificates where the primary key or a subkey matches the spec-
       ified Key ID.

	      sq cert export --key 24F3955B0B8DECC8

       Export  certificates  that  contain a User ID with *either* (not	both!)
       email address.  Note: this check	is case	insensitive.

	      sq cert export --email alice@example.org --email \
		     bob@example.org

   sq cert lint
       To gather statistics, simply run:

	      sq cert lint keyring.pgp

       To fix a	key:

	      gpg --export-secret-keys FPR \
		     | sq cert lint --fix -p passw0rd -p password123 \
		     | gpg --import

       To get a	list of	keys with issues:

	      sq cert lint --list-keys keyring.pgp \
		     | while read FPR; do something; done
