Description Luigi Maselli 2005-03-13 14:38:40 UTC 
It would be very useful to have this information in the contact, too.
Comment 1 André Klapper 2005-03-14 22:14:08 UTC 
would it? for what? evo uses gpg settings. and what exactly do you 
mean by "GPG key field"? the string? an attachment? a link to an ascii 
file? don't get this, sorry...
Comment 2 Luigi Maselli 2005-03-24 11:27:30 UTC 
I mean, when I backup a contact (es vcard) I'd like to store also his
gpg key (and maybe also his face-photo). I don't know if is better a
"paste-here" or "select a gpg file" to manage the gpg key for each
contact, anyway I think the gpg key could be managed as all the other
fields (icq/msn numer, his website,..)

Seahorse with Nautilus integration works quite well, but there is a
duplication of information like Name, email addresses; Seahorse team
plan to do a plugin for evo, but I don't know if it will permit to
backup conctat info+gpg together.

That's all.
Comment 3 Not Zed 2005-05-19 09:45:14 UTC 
does vcard have a defined field for this sort of stuff?
Comment 4 André Klapper 2005-05-20 11:12:37 UTC 
if i understood it right, RFC 2426 has a KEY field (section 3.7.2: "KEY Type 
Definition").
Comment 5 Luigi Maselli 2007-04-16 16:29:43 UTC 
Maybe each email address should have an optional key id, while the full key should be stored in seahorse (as it already works)
Comment 6 awilliam 2010-12-13 13:32:36 UTC 
While I can see the usefulness of this (I'd have the public GPG for contacts on the server) I've never seen any client that supports certificates or 'keys' in vCards.
Comment 7 Milan Crha 2015-08-26 13:20:33 UTC 
This had been added recently, thus I mark this as a duplicate of the corresponding bug report.
