Places to register your key online - or look up others

Note: For security reasons, it is a good idea to sign your own public key before registering it. For "web of trust" reasons, before registering your public key, it's a good idea to have it signed by someone else whose key is already publicly registered.

• pgp.net Public Key Server
• MIT PGP Public Key Server
• USENIX PGP Key-signing Service (They will certify and distribute members PGP keys)

Miscellaneous PGP services

• PGP Digital Timestamping Service (A free service which certifies and timestamps documents)
