Handshake
Decentralized naming and certificate authority. An experimental peer-to-peer root naming system.
What is Handshake?
Handshake is a decentralized, permissionless naming protocol where every peer is validating and in charge of managing the root DNS naming zone. Handshake's goal is to create an alternative to existing Certificate Authorities and naming systems. Names on the internet ultimately rely upon centralized actors vulnerable to hacking, censorship, and corruption. Handshake experiments with new ways the internet can be more secure, resilient, and socially useful with a peer-to-peer system validated by the network's participants.
