- <p>Key servers are computers that help you to store and retrieve

- makes it easier for people to import your public key 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
