Hello Martin,so I think these people want to make it as easy as possible for others to get the public key. I also make my keys available on my website and via WKD and DNS. From my point of view it is also a kind of security for people who want to write to me that they have my real key - and not a fake one.

Hello Vincent, Ok - that is clear now. I never had the idea to get a "whole list" from a key server but I didn't understand why people let access their key only on their own website.

Who decides that a key is public or non-public? Who or how can I request a non-public key?Sorry, that wasn't as clear as it could have been. There are no non-public keys, all keys are still publicly available, and can be retrieved by fingerprint or email address. You just can't retrieve all keys or email addresses as a full list, which makes it a far less interesting target for spammers._______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org https://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
