openpgpkey - Create and verify RFC-TBD OPENPGPKEY DNS records
openpgpkey [--fetch | --verify] [--insecure] [--resolv.conf /PATH/TO/RESOLV.CONF] user@domain
openpgpkey [--create] [--insecure] [--resolv.conf /PATH/TO/RESOLV.CONF] [--output {rfc,generic,both}] [--uid <uid>] [--keyid <keyid>] user@domain
openpgpkey generates RFC-7929 OPENPGPKEY DNS records. To generate these records for older nameserver implementations that do not yet support the OPENPGPKEY record, specify --output generic to output the openpgpkey data in Generic Record (RFC-3597) format. Records are generated by taking all keys with the specified email address associated with it from the user's local GnuPG keychain.
Verification of OPENPGPKEY records is done by comparing the keyid and fingerprint of the OPENPGPKEY obtained from DNS with the version in the local GnuPG keychain.
--fetch
--create
--verify
--resolvconf FILE
--output rfc | generic | both
If neither create or verify is specified, create is used.
openpgpkey requires the following python libraries: unbound, gnupg and argparse. It also requires gnupg which provides the gpg command.
