SQ(1) User Commands SQ(1) NAME sq pki path - Verify the specified path SYNOPSIS sq pki path [OPTIONS] FINGERPRINT|KEYID USERID DESCRIPTION Verify the specified path. A path is a sequence of certificates starting at the root, and a User ID. This function checks that each path segment has a valid certifica- tion, which also satisfies any constraints (trust amount, trust depth, regular expressions). If a valid path is not found, then this subcommand also lints the path. In particular, it report if any certifications are insufficient, e.g., not enough trust depth, or invalid, e.g., because they use SHA-1, but the use of SHA-1 has been disabled. OPTIONS Subcommand options -a, --amount=AMOUNT The required amount of trust. 120 indicates full authentication; values less than 120 indicate partial authentication. When `--certification-network` is passed, this defaults to 1200, i.e., `sq pki` tries to find 10 paths. --certification-network Treats the network as a certification network. Normally, `sq pki` treats the Web of Trust network as an authen- tication network where a certification only means that the bind- ing is correct, not that the target should be treated as a trusted introducer. In a certification network, the targets of certifications are treated as trusted introducers with infinite depth, and any regular expressions are ignored. Note: The trust amount remains unchanged. This is how most so-called PGP path-finding algorithms work. --gossip Treats all certificates as unreliable trust roots. This option is useful for figuring out what others think about a certificate (i.e., gossip or hearsay). In other words, this finds arbitrary paths to a particular certificate. Gossip is useful in helping to identify alternative ways to au- thenticate a certificate. For instance, imagine Ed wants to au- thenticate Laura's certificate, but asking her directly is in- convenient. Ed discovers that Micah has certified Laura's cer- tificate, but Ed hasn't yet authenticated Micah's certificate. If Ed is willing to rely on Micah as a trusted introducer, and authenticating Micah's certificate is easier than authenticating Laura's certificate, then Ed has learned about an easier way to authenticate Laura's certificate. FINGERPRINT|KEYID USERID A path consists of one or more certificates (designated by their fingerprint or Key ID) and ending in the User ID that is being authenticated Global options See sq(1) for a description of the global options.
