PGP Keyserver

SURFnet has made it easier to protect e-mail messages with PGP. This is a programme with which e-mail messages can be:

• encrypted, so only the addressee can read the message
• provided with a digital autograph, so the authenticity of the message can be determined

For almost all opeating platforms, versions of PGP are available. To be able to send encrypted messages to someone, or to be able to verify someone's digital autograph, you need the public PGP key of this person. Through SURFnet PGP Keyserver you can find these public keys

Conditions for use

This service is available for institutions that are connected to SURFnet.
