Ubuntu Manpage: sq pki list - List all authenticated bindings (User ID and certificate pairs)

NAME

       sq pki list - List all authenticated bindings (User ID and certificate pairs)

SYNOPSIS

       sq pki list [OPTIONS] PATTERN

DESCRIPTION

       List all authenticated bindings (User ID and certificate pairs).

       Only  bindings  that  meet  the specified trust amount (by default bindings that are fully authenticated,
       i.e., have a trust amount of 120), are shown.

       Even if no bindings are shown, the exit status is 0.

       If `--email` is provided, then a pattern matches if it is a  case  insensitive  substring  of  the  email
       address  as-is  or  the  normalized  email  address.   Note: unlike the email address, the pattern is not
       normalized.  In particular, puny code normalization is not done on the pattern.

OPTIONS

Subcommand options
-a, --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
Changes the USERID parameter to match User IDs with the specified email address.

Interprets the USERID parameter as an email address, which is then used to select User IDs with
that email address.

Unlike when comparing User IDs, email addresses are first normalized by the domain to ASCII using
IDNA2008 Punycode conversion, and then converting the resulting email address to lowercase using
the empty locale.

If multiple User IDs match, they are each considered in turn, and this function returns success if
at least one of those User IDs can be authenticated. Note: The paths to the different User IDs
are not combined.

--gossip
Treats all certificates as unreliable trust roots.

This option is useful for figuring out what others think about a certificate (i.e., gossip or
hearsay). In other words, this finds arbitrary paths to a particular certificate.

Gossip is useful in helping to identify alternative ways to authenticate a certificate. For
instance, imagine Ed wants to authenticate Laura's certificate, but asking her directly is
inconvenient. Ed discovers that Micah has certified Laura's certificate, but Ed hasn't yet
authenticated Micah's certificate. If Ed is willing to rely on Micah as a trusted introducer, and
authenticating Micah's certificate is easier than authenticating Laura's certificate, then Ed has
learned about an easier way to authenticate Laura's certificate.

PATTERN
A pattern to select the bindings to authenticate.

The pattern is treated as a UTF-8 encoded string and a case insensitive substring search (using
the current locale) is performed against each User ID. If a User ID is not valid UTF-8, the
binding is ignored.

Global options
See sq(1) for a description of the global options.

EXAMPLES

       List all bindings  for  user  IDs  containing  an  email  address  from  example.org,  and  that  can  be
       authenticated.
