=== Debian Keyring (Package Management) for distribution of apps ===
The primary advantage of apt (or yum) package distribution is that it uses person-orientated PKI as the fundamental basis of trust. By contrast, SSL PKI is host-based. Debian packages, however, being GPG-signed by people, can be distributed without limit or restriction, and do not even require a network.
