If you will be attending Rebooting the Web of Trust Fall 2017 in Boston, Massachusetts, please upload your topic papers and advanced readings to this directory with a pull request (or, if you don't know how, post an issue).
Please see the Web of Trust Info website for more information about our community, including upcoming events.
In advance of the design workshop, all participants produced a one-or-two page topic paper to be shared with the other attendees on either:
- A specific problem that they wanted to solve with a web-of-trust solution, and why current solutions (PGP or CA-based PKI) can't address the problem?
- A specific solution related to the web-of-trust that you'd like others to use or contribute to?
The following advanced readings have been prepared as primers, intended to give you a foundation in some of the topics that may be discussed at the design workshop:
- A Primer on Functional Identity by Joe Andrieu
- A Primer on Self-Sovereign identity by Christopher Allen & Shannon Appelcline
- DID Primer by Drummond Reed & Manu Sporny
