This repository contains documents related to RWOT3, the third Rebooting the Web of Trust design workshop, which ran in San Francisco, CA, on October 19th-21st, 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.

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?

Please see the Advance Readings README for a listing of all of the papers.

The design workshop exceeded its mandate by producing seven papers, which are now all available online:

The complete draft of the Decentralized IDentifier (DID) model and syntac, a project that has run through the RWOT workshops to date.

A short overview of enhancements to Digital Verification that came out of RWOT III.

A discussion of the dangers of transferring wisdom into the digital world, seen through the lenses of vulnerability, shadows, healing, tensions, complexity and gestalt, and organizational choices.

An overview of the hubs datastore system.

An Information Lifecycle Engagement Model that offers a use case for a Syrian refugee.

A model and proof-of-concept implementation for decentralized verification.

Bringing together COALA IP and Consent to deal with digital intellectual property.
