# Monkeysphere authentication add-certifier subcommand
#
+# This function adds a certifier whose signatures will be used to
+# calculate validity of keys used to connect to user accounts on the
+# server. The specified certifier key is first retrieved from the Web
+# of Trust with the monkeysphere-user-controlled gpg_sphere keyring.
+# Once then new key is retrieved, it is imported into the core
+# keyring. The gpg_core then ltsigns the key with the desired trust
+# level, and then the key is exported back to the gpg_sphere keyring.
+# The gpg_sphere has ultimate owner trust of the core key, so the core
+# ltsigs on the new certifier key can then be used by gpg_sphere
+# calculate validity for keys inserted in the authorized_keys file.
+#
+# This is all to keep the monkeysphere user that connects to the
+# keyservers from accessing the core secret key.
+#
# The monkeysphere scripts are written by:
# Jameson Rollins <jrollins@finestructure.net>
# Jamie McClelland <jm@mayfirst.org>
