The "{term}`trust depth`" (or {term}`level<Trust Depth>`) in OpenPGP signifies the extent of transitive {term}`delegation` within the {term}`authentication` process. It determines how far a {term}`delegation` can be extended from the original {term}`trusted introducer` to subsequent intermediaries. Essentially, a {term}`certificate<OpenPGP Certificate>` with a {term}`trust depth` of more than one acts as a "{term}`meta-introducer`," facilitating {term}`authentication` decisions across multiple levels in the network.
