# Six Degrees of PGP

A Web of Trust visualizer aimed at finding the shortest path between two existing persons holding PGP keys, showing their degrees of separation.

## How it works

1. cache a [dump of the Cyberbits keyserver](https://mirror.cyberbits.eu/hockeypuck/dump/) via [rsync](https://github.com/rsyncproject/rsync);

2. parse the dump using [Sequoia-PGP](https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/sequoia/-/tree/main/);

3. load public keys as nodes and signatures as edges in a [neo4j database](https://neo4j.com/);

4. query via [neo4rs](https://github.com/neo4j-labs/neo4rs);
