keyoxide-cli

A command-line interface written in Node.js to locally verify online distributed identities, powered by the same method used by keyoxide.org.

Installation

Using NPM (preferred)

Simply run:

npm install -g keyoxide

to install keyoxide globally to your system path.

Using git

Clone this repository, then either run:

npm install -g

or

yarn global add keyoxide

to install keyoxide globally to your system path.

Usage

To verify a key stored on dedicated keyservers, run:

keyoxide verify hkp:keys.openpgp.org:[email protected]

Since keys.openpgp.org is the default keyserver, this is equivalent to:

keyoxide verify hkp:[email protected]

Of course, you can specify any HKP keyserver:

keyoxide verify hkp:keyserver.ubuntu.com:[email protected]

It is also possible to search for a fingerprint:

keyoxide verify hkp:3637202523e7c1309ab79e99ef2dc5827b445f4b

To verify a key made accessible through Web Key Directory, run:

keyoxide verify wkd:[email protected]
