The latest discussion about key signing parties and related questions asked in private email got me thinking about signing keys for nyms. What would one have to know to sign a key for a nym? Would you sign my key? Why?
There are nym keys i have signed before. They are usually for nyms of friends and they are usually signed with another nym key. Kind of a fictional web of trust... I normally only sign keys for people I have met and trust to be the individual with the key claimed. "True names" and other legal fictions do not interest me as much as the individuals involved.
