It's non trivial.

Key distribution is the hard part, because of MITM attack.

Decentralized approach: Web of trust works but is hard to use and
therefore hard to bootstrap. (Why no one uses pgp, and even fewer
people use WOT).

https://keybase.io/ is sort of half decentralized hybrid for pgp key
distribution.

If you're ok with centralized there are many approaches, but then you
have single point of failure.

Other interesting things to google/link:
