The above is a copy of today's snapshot. I hope to complete this whitepaper "later this week" ...maybe next. ;-) The layering parts are complete. Here's a copy of the preface...

Preface

This is a first-principles software architecture reference model (ARM) whitepaper that documents the comprehensive analysis of the potential architecture variations for the Trusted Content Storage Stack (TCS Stack) including detailed interim as well as final assessments and recommendations.

The intent and purpose of this document has taken several strategic twists and turns during the course of its development. Originally entitled Secure Data Storage Working Group (sds-wg) Confidential Storage (CS): Functional Architecture Reference Models (CS-FARMs), the initial goal was to help evolve the SDS Layers diagram in the Confidential Storage 1.0 Specification (https://identity.foundation/confidential-storage/#ecosystem-overview) to make it more useful for discussing the technology and architectural options for supporting replication between encrypted data vaults.

This whitepaper evolved quickly over the subsequent weeks from being a few pages in length to more than 200 pages. The whitepaper had forked from its original mission. The purpose of the current version of the whitepaper to fully describe the architecture variations for a new project: Trusted Content Storage Architecture (TCS Stack).
