skipdb: Managing Keys and Certificates

skipdb is used to manage certificates. Long-term certificates are stored in a database for access by the key manager. The skipdb command allows the manual administration of the certificate database.

X.509 certificates without proper signatures will not be added to the skipdb database. The CA's certificate must be added to the CA certificate database using the skipca command before adding certificates signed by that CA to the skipdb database.

Unsigned public keys will be added with the appropriate hash of the contents as the name.
