    • GnuPG calls the second quantity ownertrust and the third validity

      This sourceThe GNU Privacy Handbook, ch. 3 Key Management. The GNU Privacy Handbook's key-management chapter, which separates trust in a key's owner (owner-trust) from a key's validity and warns that GnuPG overloads the word 'trust' across the two; the solid-form spelling 'ownertrust' is gpg's own, from --export-ownertrust. The GNU Privacy Handbook's validity rule - one fully trusted signature, or three marginally trusted ones, within a path of five steps - which the handbook notes is adjustable; this is GnuPG's configurable default (gpg's --marginals-needed 3, --completes-needed 1), not a threshold fixed by the OpenPGP standard.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
