IMO, TOFU has just made it even worse. I tried to be really strict, talk about ownertrust and validity. Always trying to keep them separate. Personally avoiding the word "trust" without the "owner-" prefix. Then we get Trust On First Use, which... increases or establishes validity of a key on the first use... Ugh. I suppose, in this case, that's what you get when you import a term from outside of the ecosystem. If invented here, it would be Validity On First Use. Peter. PS: A while ago I said "I think it might be worth it to file a bug report if you see the word 'trust' used for validity in the official documentation that accompanies GnuPG." Then I read the new documentation on TOFU, and mentally tagged it WONTFIX. It's just undoable with that terminology. -- I use the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) in combination with Enigmail. You can send me encrypted mail if you want some privacy.
