Description

Canonical SKS OpenPGP Public Key Server (or SKS) is a free, distributed, OpenPGP-compliant public key server. It is used to share and store public keys over the Internet. It allows users to securely send and receive encrypted messages, verify the identity of the sender, and verify the integrity of the message. It also allows users to manage and store their own public keys. SKS is designed to be secure and reliable, and is maintained by a global network of volunteer administrators. It uses a distributed database and synchronization protocol to ensure that all servers have the same set of public keys. SKS also provides advanced cryptographic algorithms for key management, such as RSA and elliptic curve cryptography. SKS is an open source project, available for download and use by anyone.
