Rebooting Web Of Trust - Papers and Advance Readings Index

I wanted a list of all RWoT papers in one place, rather than having to directory hop to look for what I need.

See the WebofTrust.Info or github.com/WebOfTrustInfo for more information.

'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.

Rebooting the Web of Trust I

San Francisco, CA - November 3rd & 4th, 2015.

Documents related to RWOT1, the first Rebooting the Web of Trust design workshop.

Its goal was to generate five technical white papers\proposals on topics that would have the greatest impact on the future.

Completed Papers 1

  • Rebranding the Web of Trust by Shannon Appelcline, Dave Crocker, Randall Farmer, and Justin Newton
    • A history of the Web of Trust and a look at what the term could mean for the future.

      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 [...] the vibrant blockchain community is also drawing new attention to the concept we aim to reboot it.

  • Opportunities Created by the Web of Trust for Controlling and Leveraging Personal Data by du5t, Kaliya "Identity Woman" Young (@identitywoman), John Edge, Drummond Reed, and Noah Thorp
    • Five use cases, from two relatively simple cases of managing selective disclosure to the most extreme case of establishing government-verifiable credentials from nothing for a stateless refugee.
  • Decentralized Public Key Infrastructure by Christopher Allen, Arthur Brock, Vitalik Buterin, Jon Callas, Duke Dorje, Christian Lundkvist, Pavel Kravchenko, Jude Nelson, Drummond Reed, Markus Sabadello, Greg Slepak, Noah Thorp, and Harlan T Wood
    • A massive overview of a decentralized public-key infrastructure (DPKI).
  • Smart Signatures by Christopher Allen, Greg Maxwell, Peter Todd, Ryan Shea, Pieter Wuille, Joseph Bonneau, Joseph Poon, and Tyler Close
    • A system to explicitly outline and fully program conditions for verification, inspired by Bitcoin Script.
  • Creating the New World of Trust by Shannon Appelcline
    • A summary of the next step for the Rebooting the Web of Trust group.

Topics & Advance Readings 1 ^

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?
