Summary

Use attestations to create a decentralized key server for PGP keys. For instance, make it easy for users to attest that a public key is valid, and display a trust score for that key’s validity. This creates a web of trust model between users and their public keys.

Possible Features

  • Allow users to easily attest to the validity of a PGP key
  • Create a trust score based on attestations between keys
  • Check the trust score for a given key
