KERIOX

Introduction

KERIOX is an open source Rust implementation of the Key Event Receipt Infrastructure (KERI) , a system designed to provide a secure identifier-based trust spanning layer for any stack. The current version of the KERI paper can be found here.

KERI provides the same security and verifiability properties for transactions as a blockchain or distributed ledger can, without the overhead of requiring an absolute global ordering of transactions. Because of this, there is no need for a canonical chain and thus there is no "KERI Chain" or "KERI Network". KERI Identifiers can be generated independently in a self-sovereign and privacy-preserving manner and are secured via a self-certifying post-quantum resistant key management scheme based on blinded pre-rotation, auditable and flexible key events and a distributed conflict resolution algorithm called KAACE.

Status

KERIOX implementation is in progress and ongoing. We support all the KERI protocol's significant features and provide the second most advanced implementation right after the keripy reference implementation.

We furthermore support bindings to NodeJS and Dart. See our keri-bindings repository.

Organization

This repository provides implementation of KERI. Core protocol features are implemented in keriox_core workspace. Repository contains also workspaces for following KERI components:

• High level interface for Witness
• High level interface for Watcher
• High level interface for Controller

For ready to use client libraries, we encourage to visit https://github.com/THCLab/keri-bindings that provide bindings to other languages via FFI layer.

For ready to use infrastructure components, see our prebaked Docker images:

• Witness
• Watcher

Example

See this repo that demonstrates the DKMS components usage along with sample apps.
