!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] allows simple, verifiable, permission-based exchange. 

[{$pagename}] creates a new “[consent] management layer” on the internet where human and machine-readable info sharing agreements set terms for [data] transfer.

[{$pagename}] involves passing around small [JSON-LD] documents encapsulated in [JSON Web Tokens] and signed using elliptic curve keys. The [Public Key] part of the key pair is registered on the [Stellar network|Stellar Consensus Protocol]. Stellar is the “green” [blockchain], accomplishing a global ledger without wasting vast amounts of energy on mining. [{$pagename}] leverages trusting a small number of self-chosen [peers] to achieve [convergence] in at most a few seconds, rather than the “[trustless]” and slow proof-of-work style [blockchains].


By recording [data] sharing transactions on the global ledger, and further keeping a private, signed record of the details of each [transaction] agreement, we evolve a [Reputation System] system to make keeping agreements on the use of shared data the path of least resistance, and to deny continuing access to [Bad Actors].


[{$pagename}] [protocol] requires at least one distributed [Public Key] registry to exist. [ID Key]s is built on the nonprofit [Stellar Consensus Protocol], and held by the nonprofit Planetwork. [{$pagename}] Labs operates a first implementation of ID Keys at IDKeys.net. The service provides key pair creation and management for individuals, first as a free beta, and then at cost ($0.10/per key pair), along with a commercial subscription service that will provide secure customer [Private Key] management by [API] for businesses.
