vLEI UserAny user of vLEI credentials in any applicable use case.
Autonomic Identifiers (AIDs)AIDs are self-certifying identifiers that are imbued with self-management capabilities via the KERI protocol. There are two main classes of AIDs in KERI: 1) transferable AIDS, and 2) non-transferable AIDS. Key management policies are different for the two classes of AIDs.
Delegated AIDsAutonomic Identifiers (AIDs) which have associated Decentralized Identifier (DIDs). These are primary identifiers. Unless otherwise indicated, whenever the term identifier is used with reference to KERI, the references are to primary identifiers. Examples are: GLEIF Internal
Delegated AID (GIDA) and GLEIF External Delegated AID (GEDA).
Distributed Hash Table (DHT)In computing, a data structure that implements an associative array abstract data type, a structure that can map keys to values. Within the vLEI Ecosystem, these tables are used for the discovery of AIDs.
GLEIF Root of Trust AIDThe GLEIF Root Aid provides the Root of Trust for the ecosystem tree of trust. Each branch in that tree is a Chain of Trust. The Delegated Aid Chain of Trust branch provides trust for delegated GLEIF AIDS and Qualified vLEI Issuer Delegated AIDs. The vLEI Chain of Trust branch, that attaches to the Delegated AID Chain of Trust branch, provides trust for all vLEIs within the vLEI ecosystem.
Key Event Receipt
Infrastructure (KERI)
Provides the identifier and key management architecture for the vLEI Ecosystem Technical Architecture
(KERI white paper: Smith, S. M., “Key Event Receipt
Infrastructure (KERI) Design”, Revised 2020/09/06, 2019/07/03)
WatcherAn entity or component that keeps a copy of a Key Event Receipt Log (KERL) for an identifier but is not designated by the Controller thereof as one of its Witnesses.
WitnessAn entity or component designated (trusted) by the Controller of an identifier. The primary role of a Witness is to verify, sign, and keep events associated with an identifier. A Witness is the Controller of its own self-referential identifier which may or may not be the same as
the identifier to which it is a Witness. As a special case a Controller may serve as its own Witness. Witness designations are included in key (establishment) events. As a result, the role of a Witness may be verified using the identifier’s rotation history. When designated, a Witness becomes part of the supporting infrastructure establishing
and maintaining control authority over an identifier. An identifier Witness therefore is part of its trust basis and may be controlled (but not necessarily so) by its Controller.
