Alice receives an email, apparently signed using a PGP private key by Bob. she does not know Bob’s public key, but she knows and has signed the public keys of Carol and -Dave. Dave has signed the keys of Alice, Bob and Eve. Eve has signed Carols and Dave’s keys. Alice has “complete trust” in Dave, and “part trust” in carol and Eve. Should Alice accept the signature on Bob’s email? Explain your answer, specifying any assumptions you make about PGP.
