Forging self-sovereign identities in the age of the blockchain

Rebooting the Web of Trust (RWoT) is a global movement (http://www.weboftrust.info/) whose goal is to collectively create and promote decentralized identity schemes, through white papers, specifications and public presentations.

We will welcome Christopher Allen, Principal Architect at Blockstream (https://blockstream.com/), co-author of TLS and co-founder of RWoT.
