This is a skeleton, around which I will fill some context, rearrange things; introducing more\better resources as needed.
Over the coming weeks and months, I'll continue to fill in context, rearrange things; and introduce more\better resources, as needed.

#### #Rebooting-Web-Of-Trust
The first [RWoT](http://www.WebOfTrust.info)[[g]](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/) workshop was held during [November 2015](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust); attracting the likes of Vitalik Buterin, Peter Todd, Gregory Maxwell, Joel Dietz, Christopher Allen, and Jon Callas, [according to Andreas Antonopolis](https://news.bitcoin.com/andreas-antonopoulos-case-reputation-identity-systems/).
In relation to SSI, '[Web of Trust](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust)' is a network of relationships that attest to our identity claims. *Each party attesting to your identity information becomes a strand in your web of trust.*
