Hello,

as far as I understood the vcard's key field or rel=pgpkey can be used
to store or link to the key of the person in question.
But it can not be used to actually judge the authenticity of the hcard
itself. For example a digital signature over Microformatted content
could solve that problem quite eleganlty in my opinion.

An example, perhaps a proposal for the new list:
A Microformat for Digital Signatures [1] that allows to digitally sign
other Microformats and itself store the Digital Signature in a
Microformatted way.

I am happy for suggestions.

Cheers,
Henrich C. Poehls
