新しい OpenPGP 鍵サーバが Launch したらしい

• Fast and reliable. No wait times, no downtimes, no inconsistencies.
• Precise. Searches return only a single key, which allows for easy key discovery.
• Validating. Identities are only published with consent, while non-identity information is freely distributed.
• Deletable. Users can delete personal information with a simple e-mail confirmation.
• Built on Rust, powered by Sequoia PGP - free and open source, running AGPLv3.

We created keys.openpgp.org to provide an alternative to the SKS Keyserver pool, which is the default in many applications today. This distributed network of keyservers has been struggling with abuse, performance, as well as privacy issues, and more recently also GDPR compliance questions. Kristian Fiskerstrand has done a stellar job maintaining the pool for more than ten years, but at this point development activity seems to have mostly ceased.
We thought it time to consider a fresh approach to solve these problems.

The keys.openpgp.org keysever will receive first-party support in upcoming releases of Enigmail for Thunderbird, as well as OpenKeychain on Android. This means users of those implementations will benefit from the faster response times, and improved key discovery by e-mail address. We hope that this will also give us some momentum to build this project into a bigger community effort.
