Nothing blocks you to add a ranking scheme for each seeks nodes/operators based on the number of OpenPGP signatures and their respective trust level. All the trust-ranking models already developed like advogato to all the graph-based algorithms could be applied. A numerical trust rank can be even calculated to valid the trustworthiness of a key or a set of signed seeks nodes. For more information: http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~cse400/CSE400_2005_2006/Margolis/paper.pdf http://pgp.cs.uu.nl/plot/ (can be used as a data source to validate the trust of a node operator) Hope this helps, adulau PS: Do you have a shared collaborative space for your ideas or discussions? -- -- Alexandre Dulaunoy (adulau) -- http://www.foo.be/ -- http://www.foo.be/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/Diary -- "Knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance -- that we can solve them" Isaac Asimov _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list p2p-hackers@lists.zooko.com http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
