The "trust list" command is used in certain cryptographic systems to display a list of trusted public keys. In cryptographic algorithms such as Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) and GNU Privacy Guard (GPG), users have the option to establish a web of trust by assigning trust levels to different public keys.

When you issue the "trust list" command, the system will show you a list of public keys that you have explicitly marked as trusted. These public keys belong to individuals or entities whom you believe are authentic and reliable.

Assigning trust levels to public keys helps in verifying the authenticity of encrypted messages or digital signatures. When you receive a message or file that is encrypted or signed, your cryptographic system uses the trust list to determine if the corresponding public key is trusted. A higher trust level indicates greater confidence in the authenticity and integrity of the associated key.

The trust list may also include information such as the level of trust assigned to each key and any additional comments or remarks provided by the user. This command allows you to review and manage the list of trusted keys in your cryptographic system.
