# Duplicity Evident Data: How to protect verifiers (and controllers) from imposters without blockchain and trusted third parties

A 22-slide deck by Samuel M. Smith on how KERI (Key Event Receipt Infrastructure) makes key state duplicity evident, so verifiers can detect imposters without a blockchain or trusted third party. It covers end verifiability, autonomic identifiers, pre-rotation, duplicity, KEL-anchored credential registries, ecosystem components (witnesses, watchers, agents) and delegation.

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