of one's own domain to his server.

That is indeed how it works - you delegate the openpgpkey subdomain to our gateway server, and we do the rest. Not that much different from delegating a domain's mail responsibility via an MX record in that sense, and fortunately the "openpgpkey" subdomain is neatly compartmentalized for just that purpose :)

It's of course a matter of trust. But for a fair amount of people, it seems to be a reasonable tradeoff.

Cheers
