Arenas PGP Web of Trust Network
A PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) key signing network dataset of 10,680 nodes and 24,316 edges, collected by M. Boguñá et al.. Each record contains directed: False, weighted: False, signed: False. Web of trust network from PGP key signings — nodes are PGP users, edges are key signatures.. Suitable for trust network analysis, community detection, graph algorithm benchmarking.
