# Authentic Chained Data Container (ACDC): Verifiable Data Structures (Graphs) that support Provenanced Authenticatable Attestations & Entitlements

A 28-slide deck by Samuel M. Smith presenting Authentic Chained Data Containers (ACDC), apparently to a Trust over IP (ToIP) group on data presentation. It covers ACDC structure and field labels, ACDCs as hash trees and graphs, vLEI credential examples, KERI-based verifiable data registries with Transaction Event Logs (TELs), and contractually protected disclosure.

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