backing up a bit here -- what kind of "trustworthiness" are you talking
about in your proposal?  your description includes several uses of the
word "trust", but no clear explanation of what that trust entails.

saying that keys are "trusted" doesn't mean much on its own.  What is a
"trusted" key allowed to do that an "untrusted" key is not allowed to
do?
