This is a trust issue. You're encrypting some generated bytes to the
public key of a person, but your keyring does not know whether or not
it can trust the person to whom you are encrypting these bytes.

It might be your own public key that we are talking about, but GnuPG
does not know any better; it is as good as any public key unless you
have it marked as trust.

Check out [1] for a description of GnuPG's trust model. Usually you
want full trust for your own keys, but this can change depending on
your specific security situation and use case.
