Web of Trust

A Web of Trust (WoT) is a system for establishing the credibility of digital identities, often used in encryption and secure communications. Instead of relying on a central authority to verify identities, individuals vouch for each other's identities based on personal relationships and trust. If you trust someone, their endorsements of others can also be trusted, creating a network of verified connections. This decentralized approach allows users to build confidence in the authenticity of digital information and communications, enhancing security without the need for a single governing body.
