<p>while the request is valid, it does indeed break the Web Of
Trust. I don't think it's that "easy" to re-produce the social
graph, but of course it's possible.</p>
<p>GPG Keychain Access doesn't currently provide this option, but
if more user request it, we'll add this feature.</p>
<p>I've added a ticket where you can track progress:<br>

<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Since there is no undo for an export to a key server, an export
without<br>
signatures or at least a clear warning would actually seem to be
a<br>
reasonable default. If you are serious about your GPG usage, you
will have<br>
received many signatures and a substantial part of your address
book would<br>
therefore be in the public. In addition, signatures contain
personal data<br>
of other users, i.e., is is at least not clear if they agree that
their<br>
signatures get public exposure.</p>
<p>Best regards, Martin</p></div>martinsteigertag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/292198332013-11-02T14:17:20Z2013-11-02T14:17:20ZExporting Public Keys without Signatures?<div><p>All true and valid points. The ticket does exist. The downside
is: this somewhat breaks the "web of trust".</p>
<p>But it would be a good option to have.</p></div>Steve
