Detailed Description

Trust for use in the main-application code, as opposed to the (keygen/signing) scripts.

Can be seen as an elaborate wrapper around a public-key.
Currently used as a singleton, as we currently have only one single 'master' public key for the entire app.
See the 'createkeypair.py', 'signfile.py' and 'signfolder.py' scripts in the 'scripts' folder.
