A Reference Architecture for Trust over the Internet with Universal Interoperability
summary
A four‑layer reference architecture is proposed that makes a tiny authenticity base layer (verifiable identifiers + device autonomy) the hourglass waist so any messaging, credentialing or app stack can interoperate; existing projects like DIDcommv2, KERI and Indy/Aries map into those layers and only need refactoring to separate the trust span from app logic. Claim: the minimal authenticity layer is simple, largely sufficient, and lets wallets and verifiable credentials scale universally.
