    • 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.
