<p>People who use your public key can see the number of signatures it has. Once you've used GnuPG for a long time, you may have hundreds of signatures.

The more signatures a key has, and the more signatures it's signers' keys have, the more trustworthy that key is.</p>
+<p>People's public keys are usually identified by their key ID, which is a short string of digits like 9G6E29F7. You may also see them referred to by their key fingerprint, which is a slightly longer string of digits often prefaced with 0x, like 0x2C1008316F3E89B7.</p>

<p>People who use your public key can see the number of signatures it has. Once you've used GnuPG for a long time, you may have hundreds of signatures. The Web of Trust is the constellation of GnuPG users, connected to each other by chains of trust expressed through signatures, into a giant Web. The more signatures a key has, and the more signatures it's signers' keys have, the more trustworthy that key is.</p>
+<p>People's public keys are usually identified by their key ID, which is a short string of digits like 9G6E29F7. You may also see them referred to by their key fingerprint, which is a slightly longer string of digits often prefaced with 0x, like 0x2C1008316F3E89B7.</p>

<p>The more you can encrypt your messages, the better. This is because, if you only encrypt emails occasionally, each encrypted message could raise a red flag for surveillance systems. If all or most of your email is encrypted, people doing surveillance won't know where to start.</p>
-<p>That's not to say that only encrypting some of your email isn't helpful -- it's a great start and it makes bulk surveillance more difficult. And even people that encrypt as much as they can are still limited to those of their contacts that have public keys.</p>

+ <h3><em>Important:</em> Be wary of invalid keys</h3>
<p>GnuPG makes email safer, but it's still important to watch out for invalid keys, which which might have fallen into the wrong hands. Email encrypted with invalid keys might be readable by surveillance programs.</p>
<p>In your email program, go back to the second email that Adele sent you. Because it was encrypted with her key, it will have a message from OpenPGP at the top, which most likely says "OpenPGP: Part of this message encrypted."</p>
<p><b>When using GnuPG, make a habit of glancing at that bar. The program will warn you there if you get an email encrypted with a key that can't be trusted.</b></p>

<h3><em>Important:</em> act swiftly if someone gets your private key</h3>
- <p>If you lose your private key or someone else gets ahold of it (say, by stealing or cracking your computer), it's important to revoke it immediately before someone else uses it to steal your identity. This guide doesn't cover how to revoke a key, but it only takes a minute. We recommend you Google it or seek help from a skilled friend. After you're done revoking, send an email to everyone with whom you usually use your key to make sure they know.</p>
