Description: OpenPGP Web of Trust analyzer and pathfinder
Wotsap is a tool that analyzes a OpenPGP Web of Trust description and
reports to the user stastistics about the single keys and the whole
network, or searches for paths from one key to another.
OpenPGP is the most widely used email encryption standard, used by
encryption software such as the GNU Privacy Guard (gpg). To encrypt to
someone or verify someone's signature, you need that persons OpenPGP
key. Say you want to verify a digital signature made by Bob. To get
Bob's key is easy with some help from keyservers, being sure you got
the right key is the tricky part. This is accomplished either by
meeting Bob in person and exchanging signatures, or by trusting someone
else, who you have met in person, who claims to have met Bob. Or by
trusting someone who has met someone who has met Bob. This gives rise
to a completely decentralized network of trusts between people.
Wotsap lets you explore the Web of Trust. It works on a compressed
copy of the Web of Trust in the .wot file format, generated daily and
distributed on the site of wotsap main writer.

I'm not a Debian Developer. This is the very first package I try to
build, but I am determined in making it working!
