This is sks.spodhuis.org, a mostly private keyserver.

This service may be withdrawn at any time and without notice to end-users. (Peers will be notified).

For administrative questions, contact any of the non-revoked email addresses in my PGP key. (Use verbose index to see which are revoked.) Or use keyserver as the left-hand-side, in the domain spodhuis.org.

Note that this host peers as sks-peer.spodhuis.org and SKS peering requests are often accepted.

For more information on PGP, try starting at: Mr Dibowitz's PGP pages.

For more information on SKS keyservers, see www.sks-keyservers.net which maintains current status listings and a map of the keyserver connectivity. Meanwhile SKS is nongnu GPL software. The code site is hosted on Google Code and the wiki there does not yet contain much, but does include a guide to setting up peering, written by me.

Keys sign other keys, building up a “web of trust” based on chains of signatures. If you group the keys together based on existence of paths between them, to make multiple islands of keys, then the largest such island is the Strong Set. Henk Penning has a page with more formal definitions and various statistics. If your key is in the Strong Set, then you can use tools which find the paths between two keys to find the keys you might need to reach another key in the Strong Set, if you decide to trust those intermediates.
