Rust Web of Trust

This Rust crate provides basic types and algorithms to represent a Web of Trust (WoT) and use different pre-defined or custom algorithms to calculate a nodes WoT rank.

WoT use cases

You can use WoT with different algorithms in different places and here are some examples:

1. Search engines: used to determine importance/credit of a page based on other pages pointing to it.
2. Academic papers: used to determine credit based on citations.
3. Social media: used to determine how much a user is trustworthy, used in protocols like Nostr.
4. PKI alternative: used as an alternative to PKI to verify PGP (or any other cryptographic) keys.
5. Any other system that can be modeled as a graph and you need to calculate credit, trustworthiness or importance of a node in it.
