Yes, PGP works on a web of trust principle.  Just because you have a
public key which claims to represent Julian, doesn't mean it does
(anyone can produce a key which says they are anyone else).  You have to
decide for yourself whether (and how much) you trust Julians key - if
you do you can sign the key (gpg --sign-key "Julian Field") [You need to
have generated your own public and private key first].
