I thought that was the standard thing to do anyway.No. Trust is not transitive. Signing a new key with an old one merely demonstrates ownership of both old and new keys. It does not transfer the trust from the old keys to the new one. GuruI can't think of a rational reason this is a good feature of a web of trust system. The longer and more consistent people are trusted the better surely.Is there any ideas for circumventing this caveat of a PGP web of trust system? Perhaps by a 'refresh' or 'rebuild' procedure on the PGP key servers, where one day in the year everybody receives a message to sign a bunch of certificates. e.g. PGP Day or something. I mean, you have their email in the PGP email field feature, you might as well utilize it.
