Hello, this is probably an error.<p>First, the program needs to use a starting key to start trust paths, the &quot;from&quot; key. Because most people probably are not connected to the web of trust (or, more specifically, to the &quot;strong set&quot; of the web of trust), it tries to set a reasonable default.<p>This default is probably the best-connected key, the &quot;c&#x27;t crypto campaign&quot; key. The connections are analyzed and shown here:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lysator.liu.se&#x2F;~jc&#x2F;wotsap&#x2F;leafoftrust.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.lysator.liu.se&#x2F;~jc&#x2F;wotsap&#x2F;leafoftrust.html</a><p>The connections are so strong because c&#x27;t is a German magazine (website www.heise.de) which has been promoting the use of PGP for years, and worked as kind of an ad hoc CA for tech people.<p>The &quot;FROM&quot; key can be set by configuration options, and in fact anyone who uses this should set it a an own key he trusts, because it is not a good idea to introduce single points of failure in the trust web.<p>Said all that, the program should NOT, under NO circumstance, change the local trust DB of the user, because this could affect trust decisions. If it does that, this is a significant and serious error, which I will fix as soon as possible. Please, do not use this for production purposes before it&#x27;s checked and fixed.<p>I&#x27;ll check and if required fix that today (can&#x27;t do it right now), please have a bit of patience.<p>And thanks for the feedback!
