Have you heared of PKA? https://grepular.com/Publishing_PGP_Keys_in_the_DNS

If you want to encrypt a message to my key, just run the following command:

  gpg --auto-key-locate pka -ea -r mike([-dot-])cardwell([-at-])grepular([-dot-])com
It will automatically look up my PGP key in the DNS, fetch it, and encrypt to it. My DNS is secured using DNSSEC so if your resolve supports DNSSEC, you can be reasonably sure that the response is trustable.
