sleutelserver
A sleutelserver, also known as a key server, is a network service that facilitates the exchange of cryptographic keys between users. It operates by storing public keys and making them available to other users who request them. This process is essential for secure communication in systems that use public-key cryptography, such as Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) and GNU Privacy Guard (GPG).
The primary function of a sleutelserver is to act as a central repository for public keys. Users
Sleutelservers are particularly useful in environments where users need to communicate securely but do not have
However, the use of sleutelservers also introduces certain risks. Since the server stores public keys, it becomes
In summary, a sleutelserver is a critical component in the infrastructure of secure communications, providing a
