> The Infrastructure Contracts and Standards sublayer shows emerging standards outside theEnterprise Ethereum core specification. The components in this layer provide enablers for the applications built on top of them.Role Based Access Control (RBAC) defines methods for authentication and restricting system access to authorized users, potentially realized through smart contracts.Network Governance methods control which entities can join the network and hence assist withsafeguarding exchanges.Token standards provide common interfaces and methods along with best practices. These include[ERC-20], [ERC-223], [ERC-621], [ERC-721], and [ERC-827].

* [Technical Specification](https://github.com/ceramicnetwork/ceramic/blob/master/SPECIFICATION.md)
> Ceramic is a decentralized protocol that enables the creation of mutable, tamper-resistant, smart documents on a worldwide public network. Smart documents are achieved through a combination of digital signatures, document update rules, and blockchain anchoring. A Ceramic document is a flexible data structure that can be used to represent a wide variety of things such as self-sovereign identities, specific pieces of data or content, media files, schemas, policies for data access control, verifiable credentials, agreements between multiple parties, etc. The protocol doesnt rely on any particular blockchain system, instead it utilizes [IPLD](https://ipld.io/) to encode document changes into a hash linked data structure, called a Merkle DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph), and anchors those updates into a blockchain which provides strict ordering to the content of a given document. As a result, Ceramic can be conceptualized as network of individual "doc-chains." Verifying the state of a particular document only requires a user to sync the data of the given document, and the user does not need to sync the state of the entire network as is the case with all blockchain networks that maintain a global state (i.e. Bitcoin, Ethereum). A node in the Ceramic network can thus choose to only pin the documents it cares about. This means that there is no global ledger of documents.

It would allow individuals to obtain their identifier from a trusted authority and securely share it with legitimate organizations. Individuals would be in control of sharing the identifier and would be able to see a history of organizations that obtained the identifier.
