Paths of trust in PGP

There is a really cool service being offered on the web. It allows users to trace the paths of trust between two keys in the PGP world. It is worth checking out: http://www.research.att.com/~reiter/PathServer/ This is a good way to find the paths you want in the web of trust. For example, you can type in your key id, and the key id of a new, candidate key, and you will find all of the signature paths from your key to the new key. You'll be surprized at how connected the graph is. Avi

In case anyone is intrested I have added a direct interface to this in my PGP front end. :) I also have added a real-time key search & retrevial. They will be included in the next version which should be out by the end of the month after I get done working out the kinks. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- William H.
