+Description: leverage the OpenPGP web of trust for SSH and TLS authentication
SSH key-based authentication is tried-and-true, but it lacks a true
Public Key Infrastructure for key certification, revocation and
expiration. Monkeysphere is a framework that uses the OpenPGP web of
trust for these PKI functions. It can be used in both directions:
for users to get validated host keys, and for hosts to authenticate

- Monkeysphere can also be used by a monkeysphere validation agent to
- validate TLS connections on the web.
