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

The first Rebooting the Web of Trust design workshop, held in San Francisco, CA - November 3rd & 4th, 2015.

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

Completed Papers I

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

    The Web of Trust is a buzzword for a new model of decentralized self-sovereign identity. Its 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
    • 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.
      • du5t, Kaliya "Identity Woman" Young (@identitywoman), John Edge, Drummond Reed, and Noah Thorp
  • Decentralized Public Key Infrastructure
    • A massive overview of a decentralized public-key infrastructure (DPKI).
      • 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
  • Smart Signatures
    • A system to explicitly outline and fully program conditions for verification, inspired by Bitcoin Script.
      • Christopher Allen, Greg Maxwell, Peter Todd, Ryan Shea, Pieter Wuille, Joseph Bonneau, Joseph Poon, and Tyler Close
  • Creating the New World of Trust
    • A summary of the next step for the Rebooting the Web of Trust group.
      • Shannon Appelcline

Topics & Advance Readings I ^

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?

Topic Papers Submitted


Rebooting the Web of Trust II - ID2020 ^

The second Rebooting the Web of Trust design workshop, in San Francisco, CA, on May 21st & 22nd, 2016. It was run in conjunction with the UN ID2020 Summit on Identity, which occurred at the UN in New York on May 20th, 2016.

The goal of the workshop was to generate five technical white papers and/or proposals on topics decided by the group that would have the greatest impact on the future.

Completed Papers II ^

Topics & Advance Readings II ^

In advance of the ID 2020 Design DesignShop on May 21st and 22nd, all participants were requested to submit a 1 or 2 page topics paper to be shared with other attendees on either:

  • A specific decentralized identity use case related to the topic of the UN ID 2020 Summit
  • A specific problem that you'd like to solve with a decentralized or web-of-trust solution, and why current solutions (pgp or ca-based pki) can't address the problem
  • A specific solution related to the decentralized identity or web-of-trust that you'd like others to use or contribute to.
