Abstract

This paper discusses the rationale for designing a simple trust-management system for public-key infrastructures, called KeyNote. The motivating principles are expressibility, simplicity, and extensibility. We believe that none of the existing public-key infrastructure proposals provide as good a combination of these three factors.
