PGP GPG Web of Trust, Find Most Secure Path

Web of Trust explaination

http://zarb.org/~gc/html/pgppathfinder.html  (http://pgp.cs.uu.nl/)

Showing trust levels with "gpg":
gpg --with-colons --list-keys
The second field and the ninth field are the ones you want. The
second field contains the validity, and the ninth field contains the
trust setting. See doc/DETAILS from the GnuPG distribution for all
the possible values there.
2. Field: A letter describing the calculated trust. This is a single
letter, but be prepared that additional information may follow
in some future versions. (not used for secret keys)
o = Unknown (this key is new to the system)
i = The key is invalid (e.g. due to a missing self-signature)
d = The key has been disabled
(deprecated - use the 'D' in field 12 instead)
r = The key has been revoked
e = The key has expired
- = Unknown trust (i.e. no value assigned)
q = Undefined trust
'-' and 'q' may safely be treated as the same
value for most purposes
n = Don't trust this key at all
m = There is marginal trust in this key
f = The key is fully trusted
u = The key is ultimately trusted. This often means
that the secret key is available, but any key may
be marked as ultimately trusted.
9. Field: Ownertrust (primary public keys only)
This is a single letter, but be prepared that additional
information may follow in some future versions.
