In advance of the design workshop, all participants produced a one-or-two page advance reading 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?
If you will be attending Rebooting the Web of Trust September 2023 in Cologne, please upload your advance readings to this directory with a pull request.
To add a paper, create a pull request to this repo with your contribution (preferably as an .md file, but if you can't, as a PDF), along with updates to the README.md in this folder. Please also include a byline with contact information in the paper itself.
Please also enter your paper twice in this README file, once in the topical listing (adding a new category describing your topic, if necessary) and one in the alphabetical listing. Please be sure to include the full URL for your paper in the README, so that we can copy it to the main page URL and have it still correctly link.
If you don't know how to submit a pull request, please instead submit an issue.
To those who have submitted an Advance Readings paper, RWOT12 offers a steep discount on the ticket price for participation to the event. Please obtain your discount code as follows.
- Copy the link to your Pull Request (see previous section)
- Email to [email protected], paste the link to the Pull Request and ask for the discount code
Please make sure to make your Pull Request Submission BEFORE you buy the tickets for RWOT12, in order to apply your discount code.

Sustainable Privacy, Authenticity, and Confidentiality
- by Samuel M. Smith Ph.D.
- In the SPAC whitepaper, a protocol is described using best practices with readily available cryptographic operations to provide secure privacy, authenticity, and confidentiality. The protocol provides a foundation for best practices for what we are calling sustainable privacy.

Decentralized Identity and Access Control Management in Forestry 4.0
- by Yongli Mou
- Forestry 4.0, given its intrinsically decentralized and diverse framework involving multiple stakeholders and technologies, necessitates a decentralized IAM solution. This study delves into the potential application of self-sovereign identity as a viable solution to optimize access control management in Forestry 4.0 systems, thereby bolstering overall security and operational efficiency.

Echoes from History: Designing Self-Sovereign Identity with Care
- by Christopher Allen
- Self-sovereign identity represents an innovative new architecture for identity management. But, we must ensure that it avoids the pitfalls of previous identity systems. During World War II, two identity pioneers, the Dutch Jacobus L. Lentz and the French René Carmille, took different approaches toward the collection and recording of personally identifiable data. As a result, 75% of Dutch Jews fell victim to the Holocaust versus 23% of the Jews in France. Our foundational work on self-sovereign identity today could have similar repercussions down the road, so it’s imperative that we design this foundation responsibly with diligence and foresight

Requirements towards Verifiable Credentials arising from Administrative Acts
- by Markus Batz ([email protected]), Dr. Sebastian Zickau ([email protected])
- Verifiable Credential are supposed to be used in administrative procedures on federal, regional, and municipal level. The Intention is to replace paper-based credentials to drive digitalization whilst implementing self-sovereign identity principals, especially increasing decentralization and user privacy. On the one hand several verifiable credential formats exist covering a set of features, where some features are common to all formats and some features are specific. Administrative acts on the other hand bring in certain requirements, which determine the relevance of these features for the respective administrative act. It is of interest whether certain pattern exists within these requirements fulfilled by certain features which allow to determine suitable or favorable verifiable credential formats for administrative acts.
