It starts from the weaknesses of administrative public key infrastructure (PKI) and walks through each layer's mechanisms with worked examples. Written for engineers and technically literate readers new to the suite. | Daniel Hardman | 1.2 | hardman-papers | research/papers/hardman-a-primer-on-keri-acdcs-and-cesr | 1 | 1 |
