Search forms
These are the search forms to query Wotsap directly over the
web. For help, look at the bottom of this
page.
Pathfinder
Signatures (arrows) goes upwards. The bottom key is
often your own key. In other words, the graph shows how
likely the bottom key is to trust the identity of the top
key. The graph shows all paths of the shortest
length.
Key statistics
Get statistics about a single key,
generated on-the-fly. To see what signatures would lower
your MSD most, enter a number (20 is reasonable) and a
search pattern (searching through all keys takes too long
time) in the two last fields.
Group matrix
Get a matrix of signatures within a
group of people. Very useful for preparation and follow-up
of key signing party. If you find this interesting, you
might also like to see these much
larger matrices.
List keys
List all keys matching a search string.
Web of Trust static data
Information about the current Web of
Trust dump. This is static information contained in the .wot
file. Most useful to see at what time the data was extracted
from the keyserver.
Help
- Fields in darker blue and grey input boxes are optional.
- When a key is needed, you can input one of:
- A key id in the form
0x01234567 or
01234567
- A space separated list of words that match the
name or email address. If several keys match a
semi-random one will be used.
- The magic word
random which picks a
random key.
- A search pattern is a space
separated list of words that matches the keys with all
those words occuring somewhere in its primary user
ID.
- When a list of keys is needed, you
can either enter a comma-separated list of key as
described above or one search pattern.
- A
modstring is a string which describes a
modification of the web-of-trust. The modification is
never written to disk, but an operation is performed as if
the web-of-trust was modified according to the modstring.
Use it to filter out keys of people you don't trust, to
see what your MSD and graphs would look like if a
signature was added somewhere or similar things. The
modstring is a list of modifications, separated by
,. All keys must be given as hexadecimal
numbers beginning with 0x. The possible
modifications are:
add:0x01234567-0x89abcdef adds a
signature by 0x01234567 on key
0x89abcdef.del:0x01234567-0x89abcdef deletes a
signature by 0x01234567 on key
0x89abcdef.del:0x01234567 deletes key
0x01234567.del:level-x deletes all signatures
with level x. See below for the meanings
of the levels.del:level-U deletes all signatures
which are not cross-signatures.
If you use a modstring in the key statistics form the
modstring will be decoded at the top of the statistics
page.
- There are 10 different signature levels, and each has
its own associated letter:
0/1/2/3
Certification check level 0/1/2/3 (see e.g.
--default-cert-level in GnuPG
documentation) on the primary user ID. The primary
user ID is the only one saved in the .wot file and
used here. On graphs, the levels are represented by
black/red/blue/green arrows. The black arrow is thin,
the rest are thick.a/b/c/d
Certification check level 0/1/2/3 on another user ID
than the primary one. In other words, the signer
didn't sign the name you see. On graphs, the arrows
are like those above but dotted.? Unknown level. Earlier versions of
the .wot file format didn't contain level. On graphs,
signatures with unknown levels are represented by a
thin red arrow.! Added level. A level given to
signatures added through a modstring. On graphs, added
signatures are represented by a white arrow.
