How to drop keys from internal sks keyserver

  • 772

How do I drop keys from an internal SKS keyserver.

SKS fingerprints are in SHA1, but sks drop command is looking for an md5, how do I properly get the MD5 fingerprint from a key on an sks keyserver.

This command gives the SHA1 Fingerprint

gpg --fingerprint username


sks drop $(sha1_fingerprint)
hash should be exactly 32 characters long
pgp

    md5sum not working any more, because of now keyHash is MD5 hash of sorted key, for me has worked:

    • get hash in browser, by adding &hash=on to sks url
    • sks drop ${hash_from_web}
