I have a PGP key-server running here for about 6 months, it works pretty
sraight-forward. You can send in your keys, you get my keyring back in
return. I only sign your key if i have voice validation.



                      PGP-SERVER POLICIES


You can send your PGP public-keys to pgp-keys@utopia.hacktic.nl.


Your key will be added to our public keyring. In order to certify your
key, so that other people know that the key is actually yours, make sure
it is signed by other people before sending it in. It is advisable to
have your key signed by as many people as possible, before sending your
key to our key-server. Make sure that the people that sign your key are
100% sure of the fact that the key is yours.

Keys will only be signed by me if i'm 100% sure about the sender of the
key. This requires a voice validation of your ASCII-key armor. I will
NOT sign ANY keys that i don't trust 100%. E-Mail is subject to many
types of forgery and is not a secure channel for verification.
Verification can only be done by you reading to me some indicated
characters in your keys ASCII armor, either over the phone, or by
visiting me personally.

For a pgp-server to work, it is absolutely crucial to keep the above
stated points in mind. Security is your responsability, if you want
other persons to trust your key, see to it that it is signed by a lot of
people that are competent in key-managment.

If you don't want your key to be signed then that's your responsibility.
You'd make it easy for any attacker to forge a key that is supposed to
be yours.
