**Keyserver**
**Optional** Upload the public key to a keyserver:
```console
gpg --send-key $KEYID
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --send-key $KEYID
gpg --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com:443 --send-key $KEYID

```console
gpg --send-key $KEYID | curl -T - https://keys.openpgp.org

The public key URL can also be added to YubiKey (based on [Shaw 2003](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-shaw-openpgp-hkp-00)):
```console
URL="hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com:443/pks/lookup?op=get&search=${KEYID}"

Edit YubiKey with `gpg --edit-card` and the Admin PIN:
```console

# Configure YubiKey
Insert YubiKey and use GnuPG to configure it:
```console
gpg --card-edit
```
Enter administrative mode:
```console
gpg/card> admin
Admin commands are allowed
```
If the card is locked, use [Reset](#reset).
If the card is locked, [Reset](#reset) it.
**Windows** Use the [YubiKey Manager](https://developers.yubico.com/yubikey-manager) application (note, this is not the similarly named older YubiKey NEO Manager) to enable CCID functionality.

The [PGP interface](https://developers.yubico.com/PGP/) is separate from other modules on YubiKey, such as the [PIV interface](https://developers.yubico.com/PIV/Introduction/YubiKey_and_PIV.html) - the PGP interface has its own *PIN*, *Admin PIN*, and *Reset Code* which must be changed from default values.
Entering the *PIN* incorrectly three times will cause the PIN to become blocked. It can be unblocked with either the *Admin PIN* or *Reset Code*.
Entering the *Admin PIN* or *Reset Code* incorrectly three times destroys all GnuPG data on the card.

Reset Code | None | reset PIN ([more information](https://forum.yubico.com/viewtopicd01c.html?p=9055#p9055))

## Keyserver
Public keys can be uploaded to a public server for discoverability:
```console
gpg --send-key $KEYID
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --send-key $KEYID
gpg --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com:443 --send-key $KEYID

# Updating keys
PGP does not provide [forward secrecy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_secrecy), meaning a compromised key may be used to decrypt all past messages. Although keys stored on YubiKey are more difficult to exploit, it is not impossible: the key and PIN could be physically compromised, or a vulnerability may be discovered in firmware or in the random number generator used to create keys, for example. Therefore, it is recommended practice to rotate Subkeys periodically.
