pgp_2004 — PGP web of trust (2004)
- Description
The giant component of the network of users of the Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) algorithm for secure information interchange, compiled by Boguñá et al. In the PGP "web of trust", users certify the authenticity of the public keys of other users by signing them. Each node is a user (key), and an undirected edge connects two users if one of them signed the key of the other. The edge list distributed by the authors lists 24 pairs of nodes twice; these duplicates are removed here, giving 24,316 edges, which is the number of edges reported in the literature for this network. This network predates the one in the
pgp_strongentry (2009), which is the strongly connected component of a later snapshot of the web of trust.
