Patch: http://www.jabberwocky.com/crypto/gnupg/patch.gnupg-1.0.6.dms.sigclass.1 Before you sign, GnuPG will prompt you for which level of certification you want to use. Answer "?" for an explanation of the different levels. This also changes key listings (in --edit-key and --list-sigs) to show which certification level was used in making the signature. No claim made as to how well it was checked: sig 3CB3B415 2001-10-14 David M. Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com> Key was not checked at all: sig 1 3CB3B415 2001-10-14 David M. Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com> Key was checked casually: sig 2 3CB3B415 2001-10-14 David M. Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com> Key was checked extensively: sig 3 3CB3B415 2001-10-14 David M.
