This repository contains documents related to RWOT1, the first Rebooting the Web of Trust design workshop, which ran in San Francisco, CA, on November 3rd & 4th, 2015. 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.
Please see the Web of Trust Info website for more information about our community, including upcoming events.
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:
Please see the Advance Readings README for a listing of all of the papers.
The design workshop successfully completed its five papers, which are now all available online:

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.
A massive overview of a decentralized public-key infrastructure (DPKI).
A system to explicitly outline and fully program conditions for verification, inspired by Bitcoin Script.
A summary of the next step for the Rebooting the Web of Trust group.
A different repository is available for each of the Rebooting the Web of Trust design workshops:
