NAME

adopt - Binds keys from one certificate to another

SYNOPSIS

adopt [-r|--keyring] <-k|--key> [--allow-broken-crypto] [ -o|--output] [-B|--binary] [ -h|--help] [TARGET-KEY]

DESCRIPTION

Binds keys from one certificate to another
This command allows one to transfer primary keys and subkeys into an existing certificate. Say you want to transition to a new certificate, but have an authentication subkey on your current certificate. You want to keep the authentication subkey because it allows access to SSH servers and updating their configuration is not feasible.

OPTIONS

-r, --keyring=KEY-RING
Supplies keys for use in --key.
-k, --key=KEY
Adds the key or subkey KEY to the TARGET-KEY
--allow-broken-crypto
Allows adopting keys from certificates using broken cryptography
-o, --output=FILE
Writes to FILE or stdout if omitted
-B, --binary
Emits binary data
-h, --help
Print help information
[TARGET-KEY]
Adds keys to TARGET-KEY

EXAMPLES
