GPG Sync
Automatically sync OpenPGP public keys across an organization to simplify GPG key management.
What is GPG Sync?
GPG Sync is an open-source tool that automates the distribution and updating of OpenPGP public keys across an organization. It solves the scalability problem of manual GPG key management by using a centralized keylist that clients sync with, ensuring everyone has up-to-date keys without manual intervention. This prevents the use of revoked keys and simplifies onboarding and key transitions.
Organizations and teams that rely on GPG for internal encrypted communication and need a scalable, low-maintenance solution for key distribution. It's particularly useful for groups where members frequently join, leave, or rotate keys.
Developers choose GPG Sync because it eliminates the manual overhead of GPG key exchanges, reduces human error, and ensures cryptographic hygiene by automatically refreshing keys. Its adherence to an emerging IETF standard and support for modern keyservers offer a future-proof, secure alternative to ad-hoc key management.
