.SH NAME
sq\-autocrypt \- Communicates certificates using Autocrypt

communicate certificates between clients.

\fBdecode\fR
Reads Autocrypt\-encoded certificates

Given an autocrypt header (or an key\-gossip header), this command
extracts the certificate encoded within it.

The converse operation is "sq autocrypt encode\-sender".

.TP
\fBencode\-sender\fR
Encodes a certificate into an Autocrypt header

A certificate can be encoded and included in a header of an email
message.  This command encodes the certificate, adds the senders email
address (which must match the one used in the "From" header), and the
senders "prefer\-encrypt" state (see the Autocrypt spec for more
information).

The converse operation is "sq autocrypt decode".
