Sequoia-PGP – A new OpenPGP implementation in Rust

That's already three conditions, and those spider up to the conditions above.

It's like ACLs. On the surface they seem so easy, but in practice they're a nightmare to manage because you have to track so many dependencies to figure out a simple yes/no question.

There is one assigned property (trust) one relations table (signing key, signed key) and one computed property (validity, the output) and one condition.

I'd be very happy to see a simpler solution to the problem of decentralized authenticity.

Some projects do rely on Web of Trust, for example Linux kernel (https://www.kernel.org/signature.html#kernel-org-web-of-trus...) or Arch Linux (https://www.archlinux.org/master-keys/).
