NAME

sq autocrypt - Communicate certificates using Autocrypt

SYNOPSIS

sq autocrypt import [OPTIONS] FILE
sq autocrypt decode [OPTIONS] FILE
sq autocrypt encode-sender [OPTIONS] FILE

DESCRIPTION

Communicate 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

Import 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

Read 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

Encode 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`.
