Rebooting the Web of Trust (Events)

After hosting @RWOTEvents a few years abroad, I am thrilled to have Rebooting the Web of Trust, our collaborative design workshop on decentralized identity, back to its original home in California, with #RWOT13 occurring October 7-11, 2024 in Ventura, California [1/10]

Remember that you can submit a short advance-reading paper in advance of the workshop to receive a steeply discounted ticket. Early bird paper deadline is August 2. github.com/WebOfTrustInfo…

RWOT is back in the USA for the first time since 2018! Join us this October 7-11 in Ventura, California. eventbrite.com/e/rebooting-th…

I've posted more specific details about the attempt, 81 years ago today, by the Dutch Resistance in WWII destroy the Civil Archives and population registry, which was led by the Amsterdam LGBT+ community to protect the Jews and other undesirables: forum.rpg.net/index.php?thre…

A video (11m) of #Foremembrance and the moment-of-silence commemorating the 81st anniversary of the attempt by the WWII Dutch Resistance to destroy the identity records held by the Nazis, is now available at youtube.com/watch?v=R9KuIl…

Next Wednesday, March 27 is #Foremembrance Day. Join me here for a Livestream just before the sun sets over Amsterdam (11am PT, 2pm ET, 7pm CET). I'll be talking about the dangers of correlated identity, and some lessons from history. [1/11] twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Our friends at @spherity gave some attention to our first RWOT12 paper: "This question inspired Christiane W. to write about the pivotal role of an Ecosystem Coordinator in the #SSI space to make a technical solution work commercially." Take a look! linkedin.com/posts/spherity…

Some of our best RWOT papers lay out a foundation for future work. "Beyond did:web" does so for web-based DID methods. Take a look! [5] github.com/WebOfTrustInfo…

"Beyond did:web" offers a considerable look at the features that the method needs to achieve full usability as well as the work so far on alternatives, did:webs and did:webplus. [4]

One of our most popular and active groups at RWOT12 was focused on did:web. We're thrilled to have their paper, "Beyond did:web" out today. [1] github.com/WebOfTrustInfo…

I hope you take a look! And thank you, Chris! There should be more to come in a week or so! [4]

So we ultimately felt it met the goal of Rebooting the Web of Trust, which is producing insightful & thoughtful content based on a diversity of points of view. [3]

We've now officially finalized Christiane Wirrig's paper on "The Ecosystem Coordinator’s Role in SSI Ecosystem Management". This is our first final paper from RWOT12. [1] github.com/WebOfTrustInfo…

Sign up for our low-volume announcements list so that you can join us at #RWOT13, coming in 2024. [4/4] weboftrust.info/subscribe/

Though a solo writing effort, the paper was informed by other members of the #RWOT community and their expertise on NACS and IDunion. [3/4]
