Trustchain - Trustworthy Decentralised Public Key Infrastructure

The reliable sharing of public key information is central to the digital credential security model and can also support other important use cases such as data provenance and verifiable URLs. However, the existing Web PKI with its opaque Certification Authorities and synthetic attestations serves a very different purpose. Trustchain embodies a new approach to decentralised public key infrastructure, in which connections between legal entities that are represented digitally correspond to genuine, pre-existing relationships between recognisable institutions. In this scenario, users can judge for themselves the level of trust they are willing to place in a given chain of attestations. No trust is required in any third party service providers, because the digital infrastructure itself is verifiable.

Trustchain includes a novel mechanism for establishing a root of trust in a decentralised setting via independently-verifiable timestamping. Its open source reference implementation builds on open networks, protocols and W3C standards. The system has minimal setup costs and is freely available for any community to adopt as a digital public good.
