An informal means of confirming the identity of someone with whom you communicate electronically.

In asymmetric cryptography, one of the biggest concerns is ensuring that the person who claims to be John Doe is really John Doe. Jane Doe can verify that John Doe is really John Doe by non-electronic means, such as by phone. If Jane Doe knows that John Doe has taken similar steps to verify that Jack Smith and Jill Jones are who they claim to be, then Jane Doe may trust his contacts, as well.
