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?
Here are the advanced readings to date:
- Agent to Agent Communication Protocol Overview by Kyle Den Hartog
- CapAuth by Manu Sporny, Dave Longley, Chris Webber, and Ganesh Annan
- DIDDoc Conventions for Interoperability by Stephen Curran & Olena Mitovska
- DIDs In DPKI by Greg Slepak
- Five Mental Models of Identity by Joe Andrieu
- Resource Integrity Proofs by Ganesh Annan, Manu Sporny, Dave Longley, and David Lehn
- Zero Trust Computing with DIDs and DADs by Samuel M. Smith
These primers overview major topics which are likely to be discussed at the design workshop. If you read nothing else, read these. (But really, read as much as you can!)
- DID Primer — Decentralized Identifiers (extended version also available)
- Functional Identity Primer — A different way to look at identity
- Verifiable Credentials Primer — the project formerly known as Verifiable Claims
- DIDs In DPKI - how DIDs fit into Decentralized Public-key Infrastructure
