* ``android.intent.action.VIEW`` with URIs following the ``openpgp4fpr`` (OpenPGP version 4 fingerprint) schema.
|
||||||
|
* For example: ``openpgp4fpr:73EE2314F65FA92EC2390D3A718C070100012282``.
|
||||||
|
* Compatible with Monkeysphere's and Guardian Project's QR Codes
|
||||||
|
* Only full fingerprints are supported, not key IDs. After scanning OpenKeychain allows for certification of keys and this is only secure with full fingerprints.

## About `openpgp4fpr` (copied from https://github.com/effigies/openpgp4info)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In 2010, the [Monkeysphere](http://web.monkeysphere.info/) project
|
||||||
|
[introduced](http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.monkeysphere/592)
|
||||||
|
the `openpgp4fpr:<FINGERPRINT>` scheme for sharing OpenPGP key fingerprints,
|
||||||
|
where `<FINGERPRINT>` is the full 40 hex character fingerprint of a primary
|
||||||
|
key, and has since been adopted in vCards for sharing public keys.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Perhaps more significantly, several Android applications ([APG](
|
||||||
|
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.thialfihar.android.apg
|
||||||
|
)/[OpenKeychain](
|
||||||
|
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.sufficientlysecure.keychain),
|
||||||
|
and the Guardian Project's [GnuPG port](
|
||||||
|
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.guardianproject.gpg)) now
|
||||||
|
accept this scheme as a means of quickly exchanging public keys via QR codes.
|
||||||
|
The Android "intents" interface paves the way for `openpgp4fpr` URIs to become
|
||||||
|
increasingly common. The purpose of the site was to provide a proof-of-concept
|
||||||
|
that demonstrates their applicability outside the realm of Android applications.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In early 2015, the [WHATWG](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/
|
||||||
|
"If you're wondering what cipher to enable: rsa_rc4_128_sha.") [accepted](
|
||||||
|
https://html5.org/r/8872) `openpgp4fpr:` as a [whitelisted scheme](
|
||||||
|
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#whitelisted-scheme).
