hi. yep, PGP/GPG does very similar.
i just published an idea of how Trust can work in the Jabber Identity
project I am working on at http://www.theoretic.com/identity . the Draft
is at:
http://jab.sirlabs.com/bin/view/JIGs/JIS/PeerTrust
it does not involve PGP and GPG, or even PKI to a large degree, because
it does not need 'Keys' or 'Certificates'. authentication is handled by
the jabber login system instead. but this draft outlines the 'lines of
trust' that can be used in a system which has some alternate
authentication system in place.
