It is mainly about the public keys with additional data - which I have made a
habit of calling "certificates" or "certs". So if this is element going to be
included in the name, I'd vote for "certs" or "cert".
I do not like the "manager" bit in the name, because it maybe a gateway,
bridging or distribution functionality, but it does not maintain a larger
number of things (in my understanding). The managing is more done by a
different component.
So here some naming ideas based the above points brainstorming:
"certs network link"
"network gateway", as in "GnuPG's network gateway" -> "gng" or "gnetgate"
"network link"
"internet certs gate"
"Net Gate for Certs"
or a combination.
Hope you'll find my suggestions inspiring!
Bernhard
