Lists third-party certifications and their approval status

Usage

sq key approvals list [OPTIONS]

Overview

Lists third-party certifications and their approval status.

To prevent certificate flooding attacks, modern key servers prevent uncontrolled distribution of third-party certifications on certificates. To allow the key holder to control what information is distributed with their certificate, these key servers only distribute third-party certifications that the key holder has explicitly approved.
