+  <p>Key servers are computers that help you to store and retrieve
+  <em>Public keys</em>. When you create a new <em>Public key</em> you can
+  choose to submit it to a key server. When you do this, the key server
+  notifies the location of your <em>Public key</em> to other key servers. This
+  makes it easier for people to import your <em>Public key</em> and use it to
+  encrypt all of their communication with you. You can also import someone's
+  public key if you have certain details about them like their user ID or key
+  ID. There are several key servers present globally, and each of them is
+  equipped with an Internet address(URL) which can be used to submit or import
+  <em>Public keys</em>.</p>

+  <p><app>Passwords and Keys</app> provides you with an interface to

+  find and <link xref="keys-retrieve-remote">retrieve a remote key</link>. You
+  can also use <app>Passwords and Keys</app> to sync your keys so that they are
+  updated when someone signs them.</p>
