Interaction

Uploading

using the store endpoint of the Directory Provider, you can upload a PGP Public Key and the pgp key signature. The expected upload format is:

{
    "email": "<validly formatted email>"
    "pgp": "<base64 encoded pgp public key>.<pgp signature>"
}

All the uploading to the Directory Provider is handled by GET requests. Example:

http://<ip or dns>:<port>/store?email=<validly formatted email>&pgp=<pgp key>.<pgp signature>

The Directory Provider store the PGP information with the Persona information in the keystore using the email as the key. The Directory will also store the same information using the pgp key as the key value store key.

If anything other than email and pgp are sent to the directory provider, it will return a 400 error. If an incorrectly formatted backed identity assertion is uploaded, it will return a 400 as well.

Searching

Using the search endpoint of the directory provide, you can query the keyvalue store for the backed identity assertion and pgp public key by either Email or PGP Public key. An example is:

http://<ip or dns>:<port>/search?email=<validly formatted email>

to search by email. To search by pgp public key:

http://<ip or dns>:<port>/search?pgp=<pgp public key>

If the directory provider cannot find any information associated with the email or the pgp key, it will return a 404 error.

If anything other than pgp or email , it will return a 400 error.
