# KERI for Muggles

An introductory Google Slides deck on KERI for non-specialists, linked from keri.one. The deck could not be opened, so its content is not described here; the Hitchhiker's Guide to KERI, Part 3, attributes it to Samuel M. Smith and Drummond Reed and says it was given at Internet Identity Workshop #33 (not verified against the deck).

Labels: reading level Introductory; evidence unverified (a third party's account not checked against a primary source).
