NAME
       sq key attest-certifications - Attest to third-party certifications

SYNOPSIS
       sq key attest-certifications [OPTIONS] KEY

DESCRIPTION
       Attest to third-party certifications allowing for their distribution.

       To prevent certificate flooding attacks, modern key servers prevent
       uncontrolled distribution of third-party certifications on
       certificates.  To make the key holder the sovereign over the
       information over what information is distributed with the certificate,
       the key holder needs to explicitly attest to third-party
       certifications.

       After the attestation has been created, the certificate has to be
       distributed, e.g. by uploading it to a key server.
