Retrieve certificates from a Web Key Directory

Synopsis

sq network wkd search [Options] ADDRESS

Description

Retrieve certificates from a Web Key Directory.

By default, any returned certificates are stored in the local certificate store.  This can be overridden by using `--output` option.

When a certificate is retrieved from a WKD, and imported into the local certificate store, any User IDs with the email address that was looked up are certificated with a local WKD-specific key.  That proxy certificate is in turn certified as a minimally trusted CA (trust amount: 1 of 120) by the local trust root.  How much the WKD proxy CA is trusted can be tuned using `sq pki link add` or `sq pki link retract` in the usual way.
