How is discovery/traversal of loops in the web of trust problem solved?
Post Body
From the last I've read on OB, the web of trust did not have any way to locate loops and avoid infinite propagation of messages. Additionally, loops could be exploited to create what appears to be high trust from arbitrary people, when in reality the trust is circular. This can occur when the loop circumference far exceeds the locality of the neighborhood.
So, what work has been done on this, and is there a solution in place?
