NAME

       sq-key-adopt - Binds keys from one certificate to another

       This  command allows one to transfer primary keys and subkeys into an existing certificate.  Say you want
       to transition to a new certificate, but have an authentication subkey on your current  certificate.   You
       want  to  keep  the  authentication  subkey  because  it  allows access to SSH servers and updating their
       configuration is not feasible.
