Values:

[.NET] [Pascal] [C++]	Description
00	Unknown, undefined, or uninitialized trust.
01	We do not trust this key's ownership.
10	We have marginal confidence of this key's ownership.Totally useless for certifying other keys, but may be usefulfor checking message signatures with an advisory warningto the user.
11	We completely trust this key's ownership

Description

    KEYLEGIT bits - validity bits for this key.
    Set if we believe the preceding key is legitimately owned by who it appears to belong to, specified by the preceding user ID. Computed from various signature trust packets that follow. Also, always fully set if BuckStop is set.
    To define the KeyLegit byte does not require that OwnerTrust be nonzero, but OwnerTrust nonzero does require that KeyLegit be fully set to maximum trust.

    This requires either:

1 ultimately trusted signature (a signature from yourself, SigTtrust=111)
COMPLETES_NEEDED completely trusted signatures (SigTtrust=110)
MARGINALS_NEEDED marginally trusted signatures (SigTtrust=101)

COMPLETES_NEEDED and MARGINALS_NEEDED are configurable constants.
