Simple Public Key Server

Simple PKS allows to store and retrieve user public PGP keys. Unlike traditional public key servers each submitted key goes through a validation process via mail addresses and force users to have a valid identity associated to their public PGP keys.

Features

• Key validation process based on mail addresses and domain filtering
• Server signing of public PGP keys identity (Web of Trust)

Restrictions compared to traditional key servers

• No synchronization or shared database with a pool of servers
• Only one identity per key

Installation

git clone https://github.com/ctrliq/spks && cd spks/build
go run mage.go build
./spks

Configuration

By default server is searching for a configuration file in /usr/local/etc/spks/server.yaml, if not found the server will start with a default configuration which should be pretty limited for your environment.

To see available configuration directives, you can refer to the configuration documentation section.
