Description

It could be great to add a specific pgp public key entry into vcards.

This allows to use a contact pgp key stored only one time and to use it everywhere.

An "autofill" possibility could be added using public key pgp server such as pgp.mit.edu, but the key should be tagged ("verified", "not secure") depending of nextcloud user validation step for this public key.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the contact application's vCard handling and any existing public-key or validation-related code, then clarify the key format, server lookup, and verification states. Done should include a defined way to store a PGP public key in a vCard and the agreed validation behavior.
