### Trust signatures: delegating authentication ### Trust signatures: delegating authentication
OpenPGP uses [*trust signature*](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-12.html#trust-signature-subpacket) subpackets to delegate authentication decisions, designating the recipient certificate as a "trusted introducer" (or a trust root) for the user. This includes specifying trust depth (or level) for transitive delegations and quantifying trust with numerical values, indicating the extent of reliance on the introducer's certifications.
