These plans include, Utility Token Usage, File Sharing, Open Source, Stress Testing, amongst other areas to be addressed.

The Billy Krepper Series: How to..?

Our CTO Billy returns with Part 7 of the ‘How To..?’ Series. In Part 7, Billy talks about ‘the Identity Proof’ in the FortKnoxster platform. You can find a reminder summary of the important points below:

Summary points of Part 7: The Identity Proof

1. FortKnoxster identity proofs that a set of keys belong to a user account, not an individual person.

2. The FortKnoxster identity key is an RSA 2048bit signing key, that is used to sign all service keys belonging to a user account.

3. An identity Object is a publicly available (IPFS) address that contains a user account id and his public verification key.

4. The identity object is signed by FortKnoxster itself, proving that it is a valid Fortknoxster user account.

5. We perform a merkle tree root hash of a set of users which is then stored in the blockchain.

6. This opens the doors of integration with other services. Any future feature will have its keys signed by this identity key.

7. This approach combines IPFS for storing publicly available data and the blockchain for integrity keeping.

WDF 2018

Tomorrow, Rasmus Birger Christiansen and I will be attending the World Ethical Data Forum in Barcelona, we are looking forward to meeting our community members there, do let us know if you’re attending.

Till the next,

Eddy de Heij | CEO Fortknoxster | @bovengever
