# Circles of Trust
Search for a key at any key store:
> gpg --keyserver sks.hklbgd.org --search-keys nestorv
Once you've made a decision about someone:
> gpg --list-keys
You get something like this:
```
pub rsa3072 2021-08-15 [SC] [expires: 2023-08-15]
CD30421FD825696BD95F1FF644C62C57B790D3CF
uid [ultimate] Malin Freeborn <malinfreeborn@posteo.net>
sub rsa3072 2021-08-15 [E] [expires: 2023-08-15]
```
Notice the long, ugly, string - CD30421FD825696BD95F1FF644C62C57B790D3CF - and how horribly ugly it is.
This is a fingerprint.
You can now decide the trust level (this stays on your computer).
> gpg edit (some fingerprint)
Once you're in the interface, type `trust [some fingerprint]`.
