NAME

sq-autocrypt - Communicates certificates using Autocrypt

Autocrypt is a standard for mail user agents to provide convenient end-to-end encryption of emails. This subcommand provides a limited way to produce and consume headers that are used by Autocrypt to communicate certificates between clients.

See https://autocrypt.org/

SYNOPSIS

sq autocrypt [FLAGS] <SUBCOMMAND>

FLAGS

-h, --help

Prints help information

SUBCOMMANDS

help

Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

decode

Reads Autocrypt-encoded certificates

Given an autocrypt header (or an key-gossip header), this command extracts the certificate encoded within it.

The converse operation is "sq autocrypt encode-sender".

encode-sender

Encodes a certificate into an Autocrypt header

A certificate can be encoded and included in a header of an email message. This command encodes the certificate, adds the senders email address (which must match the one used in the "From" header), and the senders "prefer-encrypt" state (see the Autocrypt spec for more information).

The converse operation is "sq autocrypt decode".
