Permalink for Recipient Key

[adamgoose]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I really like the security benefits of using MagicPad, however I find it difficult to explain to colleagues who are not familiar with PGP how to use MagicPad to send me an encrypted message.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd love to be able to provide them a link that will automatically import my public key. Perhaps some of the following query parameters:

• [email protected]
• [email protected]&keyserver=keys.magicpad.io
• ?fingerprint=${FINGERPRINT}
• ?key_id=${KEY_ID}

Perhaps even a dedicated/simplified page that is somewhat of a "dropbox" for secrets, based on the aforementioned URL parameters.

• Enter your secret for ${FINGERPRINT_OR_EMAIL}:
• Press Encrypt
• Provide simple instructions to copy/paste the encrypted value to the recipient

Describe alternatives you've considered Building my own alternative using similar technologies. :P

Additional context Nah

Hey @adamgoose, thanks for the suggestion. I actually REALLY like this. Is it almost an "express"-like link you can share with friends where they can just open it and have everything ready for them?

This function technically / security wise, won't have a private key to sign messages because they didn't make any right?

[adamgoose]

Yeah, you get the idea! =]] I've actually built my own implementation with my own public key hard-coded. Hopefully it'll be online soon.

I admit, that this does not allow the end user to sign their messages, however I'm not concerned about that at this time. My intended use-case is for sharing API Keys and such over public channels.
