Description-en: GNU privacy guard - network certificate management service
dirmngr is a server for managing and downloading OpenPGP and X.509
certificates, as well as updates and status signals related to those
certificates. For OpenPGP, this means pulling from the public
HKP/HKPS keyservers, or from LDAP servers. For X.509 this includes
Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) and Online Certificate Status
Protocol updates (OCSP). It is capable of using Tor for network
access.
.
dirmngr is used for network access by gpg, gpgsm, and dirmngr-client,
among other tools. Unless this package is installed, the parts of
the GnuPG suite that try to interact with the network will fail.
