How To Install librust-sequoia-wot-dev on Debian 12
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install librust-sequoia-wot-dev on Debian 12.
What is librust-sequoia-wot-dev
librust-sequoia-wot-dev is:
The “Web of Trust” describes a network of identity assertions (“OpenPGP certifications”) and signing delegations (“OpenPGP trust signatures”), which can be used to formally validate identity information in a cryptographic certificate.
In particular, this tooling allows the user to associate OpenPGP User IDs (or simply the e-mail address part of the User ID) with some set of OpenPGP certificates on the basis of explicit certifications made by trusted parties.
The validation rules and certificate formats used in the Web of Trust support corroborative, multiparty certification, so there is no need to assign full trust to any single party.
This tooling offers a means to explore the Web of Trust by a library in Rust, and a command-line interface capable of working with either certificates in the filesystem or interacting with GnuPG’s certificate store and trust database. This package contains the source for the Rust sequoia-wot crate, packaged by debcargo for use with cargo and dh-cargo.
