to get a password. In slightly more detail, this client program
140
brings up a network interface, uses the interface’s IPv6

find servers on the local network, and communicates with servers

155
to find servers on the local network, and communicates with
156
servers using TLS with an OpenPGP key to ensure authenticity and
144
157
confidentiality. This client program keeps running, trying all
145
158
servers on the network, until it receives a satisfactory reply
146
159
or a TERM signal. After all servers have been tried, all
148

will wait indefinitely for new servers to appear.
