How would a PGP signature from a certain key lend any prestige to the paper it signed, unless that key were linked to some respected identity?

- lmm 10y agoWhatever your model is, you can implement on top of PGP. E.g. if you want pseudonymous reviewers selected by the editors of the Foo journal (the current model), there could be a key that's publicly linked to the Foo journal and you could use that key to sign short-lived pseudonymous "review keys" for "approved reviewer of paper xyz" which could sign their reviews.
