Java-HKP-Client Java OpenPGP HTTP Keyserver Protocol API Client

What is it?

This library provides an easy to use client library for interacting with a OpenPGP HTTP Keyserver Protocol (HKP) server.

How to use this library

This client library is released on Maven Central. Add a new dependency to your project's POM file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.sourcelab</groupId>
    <artifactId>java-hkp-client</artifactId>
    <version>0.2.0</version>
</dependency>

Example Code:

/*
 * Create a new configuration object.
 *
 * This configuration also allows you to define some optional details on your connection,
 * such as using an outbound proxy (authenticated or not), SSL client settings, etc..
 */
final Configuration.Builder configuration = Configuration.newBuilder()
        .withKeyServerHost("http://pool.sks-keyservers.net");

/*
 * Create an instance of HKPClient, passing your configuration.
 */
final HkpClient client = new HkpClient(configuration);

/*
 * Making requests by calling the public methods available on HkpClient.
 * 
 * For example, search for a key by Email:
 */
final SearchIndexResponse result = client
    .search(new SearchRequest("example@example.com"));

/*
 * or retrieve a key by KeyId.
 */
final Optional<PgpPublicKey> result = client.get(new GetRequest("0x92E73960FC59970DFB12F0146D712A2D27F74CE9"));

/*
 * See HkpClient for other available operations.
 */

Public methods available on HkpClient can be found here
