sq pki path - Verify the specified path
sq pki path [OPTIONS] FINGERPRINT|KEYID
Verify the specified path.
A path is a sequence of certificates starting at the root, and a
User ID. This function checks that each path segment has a valid
certification, which also satisfies any constraints (trust amount, trust
depth, regular expressions).
If a valid path is not found, then this subcommand also lints the
path. In particular, it report if any certifications are insufficient, e.g.,
not enough trust depth, or invalid, e.g., because they use SHA-1, but the
use of SHA-1 has been disabled.
- --amount=AMOUNT
- The required amount of trust.
- 120 indicates full authentication; values less than 120 indicate partial
authentication. When `--certification-network` is passed, this defaults to
1200, i.e., `sq pki` tries to find 10 paths.
- --certification-network
- Treats the network as a certification network.
- Normally, `sq pki` treats the Web of Trust network as an authentication
network where a certification only means that the binding is correct, not
that the target should be treated as a trusted introducer. In a
certification network, the targets of certifications are treated as
trusted introducers with infinite depth, and any regular expressions are
ignored. Note: The trust amount remains unchanged. This is how most
so-called PGP path-finding algorithms work.
- --email=EMAIL
- Use a user ID with the specified email address.
- This first searches for a matching self-signed user ID. If there is no
self-signed user ID with the specified email, it uses a new user ID with
the specified email address, and no display name.
- --name=DISPLAY_NAME
- Use a user ID with the specified display name.
- This first searches for a matching self-signed user ID. If there is no
self-signed user ID with the specified name, it uses a new user ID with
the specified display name, and no email address.
- --userid=USERID
- Use the specified user ID.
- The specified user ID does not need to be self signed.
-
FINGERPRINT|KEYID
- The path to authenticate.
- A path consists of one or more certificates. The first certificate is the
root, and the last certificate is the one being authenticated for the
specified user ID.
See sq(1) for a description of the global options.
Verify that Alice ceritified a particular User ID for Bob's
certificate.
