+ <p>Key servers are computers that help you to store and retrieve
+ <em>Public keys</em>. When you create a new <em>Public key</em> you can
+ choose to submit it to a key server. When you do this, the key server
+ notifies the location of your <em>Public key</em> to other key servers. This
+ makes it easier for people to import your <em>Public key</em> and use it to
+ encrypt all of their communication with you. You can also import someone's
+ public key if you have certain details about them like their user ID or key
+ ID. There are several key servers present globally, and each of them is
+ equipped with an Internet address(URL) which can be used to submit or import
+ <em>Public keys</em>.</p>
- <p>Short introductory text...</p>
+ <p><app>Passwords and Keys</app> provides you with an interface to
+ <link xref="keys-sync-publish">publish</link> your <em>Public keys</em> or to
+ find and <link xref="keys-retrieve-remote">retrieve a remote key</link>. You
+ can also use <app>Passwords and Keys</app> to sync your keys so that they are
+ updated when someone signs them.</p>
