OpenPGPEmailSummit: EmailValidation
Workshop at 2nd OpenPGP Email Summit, Dec 2015 run by Nicolai Josuttis
With this approach we want to establish a quick backward compatible solution to validate email addresses of UIDs of OpenPGP keys. The key approach is:
- Define a standard signature to signal successfull email validation
- Establish some initial validation servers to perform that validations on request
Key properties of the approach are:
- No change of existing key server infrastructure or protocol
- Existing email clients can use it
