Trust Over IP: How Digital Trust Works

The Real Problem

Imagine you need to prove you're a doctor. Today you have to:

• Carry your physical diploma (what if it gets lost?)
• Ask them to call the university (what if they don't answer?)
• Show your professional ID (what if it's expired?)
• Hope they trust you

Wouldn't it be better if you could prove it instantly, from anywhere in the world, without depending on anyone?

Trust Over IP: The Internet of Trust

Trust Over IP is exactly that: turning the Internet into a place where trust is instant, verifiable, and global.

Like when you use a credit card anywhere in the world and it works automatically. But for EVERYTHING: your identity, your degrees, your certifications, your permits.

The Three Roles That Change Everything

🏢 Issuer

Your university, your government, your employer.

Instead of giving you a paper that can be lost or forged, they give you a verifiable digital credential. It's like a diploma, but impossible to forge and instantly verifiable.

Example: The University of Buenos Aires issues your law degree as a digital credential. Forever, from anywhere, you can prove you studied there.

👤 Holder (You)

You store your credentials in your digital wallet.

Like a normal wallet, but instead of plastic cards, you have credentials that no one can hack, steal, or forge. And you decide what to show and to whom.

Example: When applying for a job, you show only your degree and experience. Not your address, not your age, no irrelevant information.

✅ Verifier

Anyone who needs to confirm something about you.

In seconds they can verify that your credentials are real, without calling anyone, without papers, without intermediaries. Instant trust.

Example: The hospital where you want to work scans your credential and in 2 seconds confirms you are a graduated doctor, with a current specialization.

Why It's Revolutionary

Before:

• "Trust me, here's my paper"
• Manual and slow verification
• Easy to forge
• You depend on third parties

Now:

• "Verify it yourself, here's the cryptographic proof"
• Automatic and instant verification
• Impossible to forge
• You don't depend on anyone

The World to Come

Imagine a world where:

• Upon arriving in a country: Your passport is automatically verified
• When applying for a loan: Your credit history is instantly confirmed
• Upon entering a building: Your access permit is validated without cards
• When buying alcohol: Your age is verified without showing your address

Everything instant. Everything secure. Everything paperless.
