Rebooting the Web of Trust VII: Toronto (September 2018)

This repository contains documents related to RWOT7, the seventh Rebooting the Web of Trust design workshop, which is to run in the Toronto area on September 26th-September 28th, 2018. The goal of the workshop is to generate five technical white papers and/or proposals on topics decided by the group that would have the greatest impact on the future.

Please see the Web of Trust Info website for more information about our community. Please visit Eventbrite to register.

Topics & Advance Readings

In advance of the design workshop, all participants are encouraged to produce 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

This should be uploaded to Topics & Advance Readings directory.

Here are the advanced readings to date:
