Information technology — Open Systems Interconnection — The Directory — Part 13: Decentralized public-key infrastructure (DPKI)

Scope

The proposed standard is intended to be a new part of the ISO/IEC 9594 series. It will be developed as collaborative work with ITU-T Study Group 17. It is intended to be developed as common text and is expected also to be part of the ITU-T X.500 series of Recommendations. The scope is to develop a specification for a Decentralized Public-Key Infrastructure (DPKI) based on the blockchain technology allowing a worldwide PKI where trust is established by consensus.
