this is a good (technical) thread about OpenPGP Wot or Governikus usage, where many more things can be discussed about these two.
I like to mention one more thing. When Mr. Zimmermann invented PGP and Hal Finney was responsible for the key management part, it was IMHO more or less meant to give grassroots organizations (*in the United States*) a tool, with for them best-known practice at this time, to communicate with persons known to one and *not* strangers. When we compare this now globally and with the WoT or Governikus. What happens or how would one feel, classic WoT wise and these IMHO stupid keyservers (at least how they work, i.e. SKS or hockeypuck) if one attends a key signing party, signs a key from let's say a child molester and receives from him also a sig? I guess when this becomes publicity know that the person who has such a key may feel pretty unconfortable, because the Internet does not forget and the person may run into trouble too. This is one reason, why I like Governikus, because it is a CA sig. Regards Stefan
