NAME¶
sq autocrypt - Communicates certificates using Autocrypt
SYNOPSIS¶
sq autocrypt import [OPTIONS] FILE
sq autocrypt decode [OPTIONS] FILE
sq autocrypt encode-sender [OPTIONS] FILE
DESCRIPTION¶
Communicates certificates using Autocrypt.
Autocrypt is a standard for mail user agents to provide convenient end-to-end encryption of emails. This subcommand provides a limited way to produce and consume headers that are used by Autocrypt to communicate certificates between clients.
See <https://autocrypt.org/>.
SUBCOMMANDS¶
sq autocrypt import¶
Imports Autocrypt-encoded certificates.
Given a mail containing autocrypt headers (or an key-gossip headers), this command extracts and imports the certificates encoded within it.
sq autocrypt decode¶
Reads Autocrypt-encoded certificates.
Given an autocrypt header (or an key-gossip header), this command extracts the certificate encoded within it.
The converse operation is `sq autocrypt encode-sender`.
sq autocrypt encode-sender¶
Encodes a certificate into an Autocrypt header.
A certificate can be encoded and included in a header of an email message. This command encodes the certificate, adds the senders email address (which must match the one used in the `From` header), and the senders `prefer-encrypt` state (see the Autocrypt spec for more information).
The converse operation is `sq autocrypt decode`.
EXAMPLES¶
sq autocrypt import¶
Imports all certificates from a mail
sq autocrypt import autocrypt.eml
sq autocrypt decode¶
Extract all certificates from a mail
sq autocrypt decode autocrypt.eml
sq autocrypt encode-sender¶
Encodes a certificate
sq autocrypt encode-sender juliet.pgp
Encodes a certificate with an explicit sender address
sq autocrypt encode-sender --email juliet@example.org juliet.pgp
Encodes a certificate while indicating the willingness to encrypt
sq autocrypt encode-sender --prefer-encrypt mutual juliet.pgp
