"However, OpenPGP has not been widely adopted among individuals, and thus there is no large web of trust as originally indented."
I guess the author is not familiar with the PGP strong set, the largest connected OpenPGP Web of Trust on the Internet, with almost 55,000 keys?
- zurn 12y agoI wouldn't count 55,000 out of 3 billion Internet users as "wide use". There is virtually no chance that a random person you want to communicate with is set up with PGP and connected to the web of trust.
- atoponce 12y ago3 billion Internet users have PGP keys? I must of missed that. At last count, I was aware of about 350,000 total, many of which are expired, clearly fake identities, or generated many times by the same user, either because they don't understand how to generate a key, or keep losing their private key. 50,000 in the strong set out of 350,000 total, is 15% of the PGP user base. 1 out of every 7 PGP keys in is in the strong set. I would call that "wide use".
