- jandrese 3y agoDiscoverable keyservers are novel I think. The problem with existing keyservers is that there are several of them and you never know which one someone's public key might be living in. There may even be multiple potential keys for a single email address across the different servers. They are effectively useless for email encryption in their current form. It's a very rare email client that will even query the most popular ones looking for someone's key. In fact I don't know of a single email client that does.
