>The Web of Trust is a buzzword for a new model of decentralized self-sovereign identity. It’s a phrase that dates back almost twenty-five years, the classic definition derives from PGP.
\#RebootingWebOfTrust holds bi-annual design workshops where many of the ideas in SSI\DID were formed.
In advance of each workshop, all participants produce a one-or-two page topic paper 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 workshop itself also produces technical whitepapers, this Repository holds a record of the progression of thought in SSI, since November, 2015.
