I want to add to that the ethereum name service, https://www.increaseo.com/eth-domains-ipfs/ could also potentially play a role in a means to efficiently and reliably distribute public keys in conjunction with IPFS? Seems worth considering at least.

and it's not the fastest thing but in theory it's simple enough that you can just do something like this:

ipfs add test.asc added QmX1yKeerXb9vSYoQXcZuuw1QFTu5UxDCec4hY9htjRYE7 test.asc

and retrieve it https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipfs/QmX1yKeerXb9vSYoQXcZuuw1QFT...

if you have an ENS name you can access it this way: https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipns/atmarketplace.eth/
