[LUG] Public Key Servers

 

To DCGLUG members
Public Key Servers.
20200808 Some time ago, when I queried a public key (expired), I was
given a site from to download it; with comments about key servers being
unreliable.

While researching a matter for a PRC friend, I came across the Beijing LUG.
Interestingly their warrant canary shows a lot of stuff about obtaining
correct key from key servers to check their warrant canary signers.

I read and learnt some things. (PS I checked one key,
PPS They are very wary about membership and check in person before
joining and if members asked to show smartphone Corvid-19 tracer, which
 can give location history, they abandon indoor meeting (usually a cafe
with WiFi announced on morning of meeting) and meet in open air

Any comment from you knowledgeable folk about key servers?
