SQ(1)

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`.

EXAMPLES

  sq autocrypt import

Imports all certificates from a mail.

    sq autocrypt import autocrypt.eml

  sq autocrypt decode

Extract all certificates from a mail.

    sq autocrypt decode autocrypt.eml

  sq autocrypt encode-sender

Encodes a certificate.

    sq autocrypt encode-sender juliet.pgp

Encodes a certificate with an explicit sender address.

    sq autocrypt encode-sender --email juliet@example.org \
        juliet.pgp

Encodes a certificate while indicating the willingness to encrypt.

    sq autocrypt encode-sender --prefer-encrypt mutual juliet.pgp
