Keyzero.org: The root public key repository

The transitional, fallback DEA

Keyzero.org is the fallback DEA (Domain Email Authority) for non-keymail systems until they acquire their own DEAs. For example, any email ID can deposit its public key in keyzero.org and receive encrypted email using that public key. If an email's domain has its own DEA, then the public key in its own DEA will override the key in keyzero.org.

Tying email ID and its public key

An email ID can register its public key with keyzero.org by sending the public key in the body of an email from that email ID to dea@dea.keyzero.org to ensure that only a user of that email ID can register a public key for that ID. For more info, send email to dea@dea.keyzero.org with info in the subject line.
