python bindings howto: dita version
* Numerous updates to bring it back into sync with the official doc. * Especially important since it now looks like the babel thing is a real bug after all and not me doing something stupid.

<title>Exporting Public Keys</title>
|
||||
<body>
|
||||
<p>There are two methods of exporting public keys, both of which are very similar to the
|
||||
other. The default method, <codeph>key_export()</codeph> will export a public key or keys
|
||||
other. The default method, <codeph>key_export()</codeph>, will export a public key or keys
|
||||
matching a specified pattern as normal. The alternative, the
|
||||
<codeph>key_export_minimal()</codeph> method will do the same thing except producing a
|
||||
<codeph>key_export_minimal()</codeph> method, will do the same thing except producing a
|
||||
minimised output with extra signatures and third party signatures or certifications
|
||||
removed.</p>

<title>Importing Keys</title>
|

<shortdesc>DRAFT VERSION</shortdesc>
|
||||
<body>
|
||||
<p>Importing keys is possible with the <codeph>key_import()</codeph> method and takes one
|
||||
argument which is a bytes literal object containing either the binary or ASCII armoured key
|
||||
data for one or more keys.</p>
|
||||
<p>In the following example a key will be retrieved from the SKS keyservers via the web using
|
||||
the requests module. Since requests returns the content as a bytes literal object, we can
|
||||
then use that directly to import the resulting data into our keybox. In order to demonstrate
|
||||
multiple imports this example searches for all the keys of users at a particular domain
|
||||
name. This time we're using the EFF, since they've always been such good supporters of
|
||||
strong encryption and good security practices.</p>
|
||||
<p>If this holds true then I would expect that some keys I already have will be updated and
|
||||
some others will be added. Most of the keys created most recently and belonging to still
|
||||
active people within the EFF should, if they are following their own recent statements, be
|
||||
revoked. If they are not revoked then it would be best left to the reader to determine
|
||||
whether or not the change in leadership at that organisation indicates a change in their
|
||||
policy of supporting good security practices.</p>

<note>Pretty Good Privacy version 2 and above are the only versions with any widespread use.
|

Pretty Good Privacy version 1 had a number of serious security problems, not least of
|
||||
which being that it relied on an encryption algorithm called Bass-O-Matic which was
|
||||
written by Phil Zimmermann. Following feedback on this algorithm, Zimmermann withdrew
|
||||
version 1 and re-implemented version 2 using RSA and IDEA, even though both were subject
|
||||
to software patents at the time (both of those software patents have long since
|
||||
expired).</note>
