A slide deck by Samuel M. Smith, linked on keri.one as "GLEIF vLEI KERI Implementation", giving an early overview of the cryptographic infrastructure the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) chose for the verifiable Legal Entity Identifier (vLEI). It explains why KERI-based identifiers were chosen over shared-ledger registries, how key event logs control credential registries, and how delegation from one GLEIF root identifier structures the ecosystem.
