# KERI: The Economics of Its & Bits (DDE presentation slides)

Slides (89 pages) by Samuel M. Smith for the Core Public Utility Technology Forum of the Dynamic Data Economy, 10 September 2020. They extend the Nonconformist keynote's economic argument into KERI itself: self-certifying pseudonymous identifiers, the "four A's" of secure data control, "sapored" (provenanced) data, privacy and correlation, then KERI's design.

Labels: reading level Practitioner; evidence informative (an author's paper, deck, tutorial or post explaining the suite).
