But there are other mechanisms besides signatures that will allow you to
use the key, so I'm not sure that word captures the essence of the
activity adequately.

I have a variety of local signatures for keys that I have verified
belong to a certain user, but for a variety of reasons I don't wish to
export those signatures.
