3 onak is an OpenPGP compatible keyserver. It was originally written
4 concentrating on providing real time path finding between 2 keys, but
5 over time has moved to concentrating on providing standard keyserver
6 storage and retrieval functionality.
10 * Multiple backend key storage options (DB4, PostgreSQL, flat file,
11 read-only PGP keyring)
12 * Command-line tool for interacting with key store
13 * Forwarding capability to other key servers
14 * Experimental full verification of signatures
15 * Experimental OpenPGP v5 support
17 It does not (yet) support the SKS Gossip keyserver synchronisation
20 See the doc/ subdirectory for more complete documentation.
24 onak is released under the GPLv2.
28 onak is written in C and has no hard external dependencies. The
29 recommended backend key-store requires Berkeley DB (tested with versions
30 4 + 5). [Nettle](https://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/nettle/) is
31 recommended for full cryptographic functionality. onak can also make use
32 of [curl](https://curl.haxx.se/) if available.
