It is characterized by a so-called [strong set](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust#Strong_set), which refers to a group of certificates that are robustly interconnected via third-party certifications. In this model, users independently delegate authentication decisions, choosing whose certification to rely on. This delegation is based on the certificates and third-party signatures available to them, with their OpenPGP software applying the Web of Trust mechanism to discern the reliability of each certificate for an identity.
