Yup! A[lice], B[ob], and C[arroll] are our three examples. A has verified B. B has also verified A. Our ring looks like: A <--> B Carroll gets verified by Bob, and Bob verifies Carroll. Our ring now looks like A <--> B <--> C A can now trust C via B. This still applies when we add in D[oug] via C[arroll]. Alice can trust Doug. This relationship, however, is one directional. If there is no reciprocity, then the trust only goes one way. Just something worth mentioning. > > Maybe we could try to organize a key signing party at OLF. Tons of geeks Hell yeah :) > there.

I can do my best to help.
