NAME
wot - Command-line frontends for Sequoia

SYNOPSIS
wot [--gossip] [--certification-network] [-a|--trust-amount] [--partial] [--full] [--double] [-h|--help] [-V|--version] <subcommands>

DESCRIPTION
Command-line frontends for Sequoia

OPTIONS

--gossip=GOSSIP
    Treats all certificates as unreliable trust roots. This option is useful for figuring out what others think about a certificate (i.e., gossip or hearsay). In other words, this finds arbitrary paths to a particular certificate. Gossip is useful in helping to identify alternative ways to authenticate a certificate. For instance, imagine Ed wants to authenticate Laura's certificate, but asking her directly is inconvenient. Ed discovers that Micah has certified Laura's certificate, but Ed hasn't yet authenticated Micah's certificate. If Ed is willing to rely on Micah as a trusted introducer, and authenticating Micah's certificate is easier than authenticating Laura's certificate, then Ed has learned about an easier way to authenticate Laura's certificate. EXAMPLES: # Get gossip about a certificate.{n} $ sq wot --keyring keyring.pgp \\{n} --gossip identify 3217C509292FC67076ECD75C7614269BDDF73B36

--certification-network=CERTIFICATION_NETWORK
    Treats the network as a certification network. Normally, `sq wot` treats the web-of-trust network as an authentication network where a certification only means that the binding is correct, not that the target should be treated as a trusted introducer. In a certification network, the targets of certifications are treated as trusted introducers with infinite depth, and any regular expressions are ignored. Note: The trust amount remains unchanged. This is how most so-called pgp path-finding algorithms work.

-a, --trust-amount=TRUST_AMOUNT
    The required amount of trust. 120 indicates full authentication; values less than 120 indicate partial authentication. When `--certification-network` is passed, this defaults to 1200, i.e., sq wot tries to find 10 paths.

--partial=PARTIAL
    Require partial authentication. This is the same as passing `--trust-amount 40`.

--full=FULL
    Require full authentication. This is the same as passing `--trust-amount 120`.

--double=DOUBLE
    Require double authentication. This is the same as passing `--trust-amount 240`.

-h, --help
    Print help information (use `-h` for a summary)

-V, --version
    Print version information
