O.k. thanks for the clarification! > Once this mail address has been mapped keyservers can be used to get > revocations and updates of the key. This part i do not understand... i send the rev cert or my updated key again to WKD and then i can search a regular key server for the updated key? > Unfortunately it is not yet widely supported; you can help to make it > better known. Well, i really would like to promote WKD at other places. The problem i have with posteo's WKD implementation is that their policy is pretty strict, which i personally don't like and i told them so. I would like to see a mail provider using WKD which allows the user to use his certified key.
