Mr. Koch, can you (or anyone else) recommend a book that is good for novices
like myself that covers GPG public keys and can help me learn how to verify
identity based on the chain of trust (self-signatures and other signatures as
you said in your email ) and covers other aspects of how GPG works with regards
to the PGP model?
