On the contrary, it _is_ logic. It's an exercise in theorem proving. "Given: I trust Alice to sign keys; Alice has signed Bob's key. Prove: I trust the correctness of Bob's key." The fact we so rarely think of trust in terms of math does not diminish the fact that in order to accurately talk about trust we need math. It's kind of like catching a baseball. Anyone can do it, but if you want to accurately talk about trajectories and velocities you're going to need either some really advanced algebra or some elementary differential calculus. Most people decide trust issues by intuition. What I would very much like to see is for people to take the next step, and determine trust on the basis of deductive logic. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
