One of Kurt's suppositions was that web of trusts in PGP are difficult because there in no centralizing authority in which to place the initial trust (or something similar to that idea) :-) My thought was that a service, along the lines of Friendster or Orkut, might more easily permit trust relationships to form and allow a client to assign a level of trust to one of their "friends" (much the way these services currently work). The reason I thought it may work is that there were times when going to conferences (and such) the people who knew (and had a certain trust level) each other would sign one anothers keys.
OK, now it's dead ;-) (I still think it has a chance of working though) --Harry Quoting Byron Copeland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: *> On Fri, 2004-02-27 at 22:19, Harry Hoffman wrote: *> > That brings up an interesting question.
