Material from the 90s is outstanding on this topic, though hard to find with modern searcch engines, which prefer new content to old. Also, much of it was never on the internet, and that which was often appeared on sites that are long gone. I did a quick search of 2600 and phrack and didn't come up with anything, but I expect this is a search failure, not a failure of those publications to carry such content. The closest I found was this https://store.2600.com/products/hope-number-six-2006-breaking-down-the-web-of-trust-download

Hal Finney wrote a little piece on the topic https://nakamotoinstitute.org/library/pgp-web-of-trust-misconceptions

The w3c has their decentralized identifiers (DID), which actually looked pretty good when I briefly looked into them. https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/

You should also be aware of what the skeptics and critics are saying.

HOPE 2020 - A Death Blow to the Web of Trust https://infocon.org/cons/2600/HOPE%202020%20(2020)/

There's an argument that the WoT both tries to break free from reliance on the government but also depends on the government. I don't agree with this, but it's absolutely something you should be aware of. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-10183-0_4

If you want to go beyomd the basics, there's lots of material on roots of trust, some of which are in hardware, and the problems with said hardware. FWIW, the web of trust never went away. It's been used in many systems since **at least** the mid 90s. A good search term is PKI or public key infrastructure, perhaps combined with the buzzwords "zero trust".

If I come across any of the older materials, I'll point you to them. If you have any questions about trust models, threat models, PKI, or cryptography in general, post 'em and tag me and I'll help you out.

So smooth! I now have 2 wallets - nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg & nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg -that use Nostr contacts for social payments. I can pay ANYONE on Nostr with either app. Instantly. Interoperably. Internationally. For effectively free. This is already a 10x better experience than Venmo or CashApp. (I assume nostr:npub1cashappn03s3cl2ljsdntv0v28e2um5lgx4vjctqjt23pcwzjhsqmtdg5l will join the party soon though ;)
