A Zero Trust network focuses on never trusting, always verifying, regardless of location, which is a broader security architecture, not a specific key management or encryption model like described.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol for securing communication over a computer network, primarily using X.509 certificates and a hierarchical PKI, rather than a decentralized web of trust.

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is the deprecated predecessor to TLS and also relies on a hierarchical PKI for certificate validation, not a web of trust for managing public keys.

The Web of Trust (WoT) is a decentralized model used in PGP-like systems where users mutually sign each other's public keys, forming a network of trusted individuals rather than relying on a single Certificate Authority. In this model, each user maintains a 'ring' of public keys they have verified and trust, enabling secure asymmetric encryption for message confidentiality and authentication by encrypting with the receiver's public key.
