Re: [tor-talk] Web of Trust, gpg vs OTR - was: Re: New GPG key for Mike Perry

[unknown <unknown@xxxxxxxxx>]

Using "Web of Trust" you sacrifice your anonimity, 
forward secrecy and deniability for the sake of privacy 
in the term of "security and integrity of a message context".

The graph of your contacts disclosured, 
timing information leaked for traffic analysis etc.

This is a cross purpose to the goals related to Tor ideology.

OTR and GPG (like Tor and any other similar tools) 
sometimes refer to intersected, sometimes to disjoint 
ranges of usage.
